Much of eDiscovery’s challenge comes from its unending evolution: hardware and software iterate rapidly, adoption happens virally, user behaviors change frequently.  That ongoing evolution can create ethical challenges, as expectations and best practices struggle to keep pace.  In this episode, Sharon Nelson and John Simek, the President and Vice President of Sensei Enterprises, Inc., discuss some ethical misadventures in eDiscovery.
