Electronic Discovery Reference Model

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is a framework that outlines the process of identifying, collecting, processing, and analyzing electronic data for legal cases. It helps organizations manage digital information that may be relevant to litigation, investigations, or regulatory compliance. The EDRM consists of several stages, including information governance, identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis, and production. By following this model, legal professionals can ensure they handle electronic evidence systematically and efficiently, ultimately aiding in fair legal proceedings.
