Businesses Generally Ignoring E-Discovery Rules
According to this article from eweek, a little over a year after the ediscovery rules went into effect, "about two-thirds of U.S. businesses remain unprepared to meet strict court requirements for the discovery and handling of electronic evidence."

E-discovery reflects the natural collision of technology and legal practice. As an enterprise creates an ever-growing mountain of records, adversaries of course want access to it. Knowing that litigation and e-discovery are inevitable, an enterprise can use technology proactively to make records more benign.
