Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) – Analysis

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is a widely recognised framework for managing electronic discovery (eDiscovery) in legal proceedings. The EDRM consists of various stages that represent the stages of the eDiscovery process.

The “Analysis” stage is the stage of the EDRM where data is analysed for relevance to the legal matter at hand.

Once the data has been collected, it is processed to extract relevant information and convert it into a format that can be searched and analysed.

The relevant data is analysed in detail to determine its relevance to the legal matter. This analysis may involve reviewing documents, email threads, and other data to identify key pieces of information, such as dates, times, and names. The analysis stage may also involve identifying patterns or relationships between different pieces of data that may be relevant to the case.

The analysis stage is critical to the eDiscovery process because it helps to identify the key pieces of evidence that will be used in legal proceedings. Effective analysis requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the legal matter at hand. By carefully analysing the data, legal teams can gain insights into the case that can help them build a strong legal argument and achieve a favourable outcome for their clients.
