Electronic discovery

Electronic discovery, or e-discovery, is the process lawyers and organizations use to find, collect, review, and share digital information—such as emails, documents, and social media content—during legal cases or investigations. It involves systematically locating relevant electronic data, ensuring its integrity, and preparing it for use in legal proceedings. As most communication and records now exist in digital formats, e-discovery is essential for uncovering factual evidence and supporting fair legal processes in a rapidly digital world.
