® Applied Discovery
®, a leader in comprehensive electronic discovery products and services, today announced the relaunch of its corporate website, which serves in part as a comprehensive e-discovery resource. In 2000, Applied Discovery was the first to offer an online law library dedicated to the topic of e-discovery, and the website has been continually updated through the years. Today
’s announcement introduces a major site overhaul with dramatic design and usability improvements, making it even easier to access essential information, including more than 900 case summaries, updated court rules, ethics opinions, model orders, sample documents, and more. The content is accessible online 24/7 and offered at no charge. This includes the new premium content, which is also free following registration on the site.
Ed Rippey, a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Covington & Burling LLP and co-chair of the firm’s e-discovery litigation group, stated, “For years, I and other legal professionals have relied on the Applied Discovery website as an online law library resource, especially when researching current issues and changes for large, highly complex legal matters.” Rippey added, “These enhancements will certainly help provide access to the critical information that is needed to stay current on the rapidly evolving landscape of e-discovery.”
According to the recently released 2008 Socha-Gelbmann E-Discovery Survey, education is one of the most important e-discovery objectives for law firms and corporations in 2008. David A. Weber, Applied Discovery Vice President, Marketing, reinforced the site’s long-standing educational value to the legal industry: “We are proud to be expanding the leadership position of Applied Discovery and supporting the industry’s education needs by expanding AppliedDiscovery.com content with the most up-to-date, easily accessible, and well-organized premium e-discovery content available.”
In addition to expanded content, navigation updates include single-click buttons to add content directly to a shopping cart for easy zip file downloading, making research even faster. Expanded content and functionality are available throughout the site, including:
- The Discovery Book: a handy desk reference for Federal Rules, key e-discovery cases, and best practices.
- Sample Documents: practical resources such as Rule 30(b) (6) Deposition question topics and preservation letters in Word or Excel format that legal professionals can immediately incorporate into their practice.
- Case Summaries: more than 900 case summaries organized by topic, jurisdiction and alphabetical order available for users to quickly research pertinent case law issues.
