Reviews

"Mr. Arkfeld's treatise on Electronic Discovery and Evidence is an extraordinarily useful, practical and accessible guide to an emerging and critical area of discovery." Browning E. Marean III, Partner, Gray Cary

"This unassuming one-volume loose-leaf publication packs a powerhouse of information into eight chapters. . . The main purposes of the book are to first explain, and then to persuade others about the importance of knowing about current technology. Arkfeld places this need in the middle of the discovery process where most attorneys come face-to-face with the issues of electronic data in the form of e-mail, different versions of documents, etc. In this realm lie many pitfalls that Mr. Arkfeld addresses astutely and comprehensively. . . .In these chapters, Arkfeld is wonderful at explaining what questions to ask the computer consultants so that the right person for the job is hired. . . . For the many practitioners and litigators with little or much knowledge of technology, this book can be of tremendous use. It is down to earth. The author explains technology in lay­men's terms. He elucidates the interactions between the courts and law of discovery and evidence, and new and ever changing technology. "  Elizabeth B. Wood, J.D., M.L.S. is the librarian at Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell, Malanca, Peterson and Dahiem, LLP.
