La semaine dernière, nous avons été apostrophé par un article paru dans la version numérique du ABA Journal intitulé Litigation Too Costly, E-Discovery a ‘Morass,’ Trial Lawyers Say. Cet article se fonde sur un rapport interim faisant suite à un sondage conjoint du American College of Trial Lawyers de l’Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) de l’Université de Denver. À sa face, ce document me semblait crédible mais sa lecture m’a empêché de dormir depuis!
Heureusement, et je l’en remercie, Ralph Losey a remis les pendules à l’heure dans son billet Trial Lawyers Turn a Blind Eye to the True Cause of the e-Discovery Morass! En deux mots, comme me l’écrivait Ken Withers, le directeur de The Sedona Conference:
Looking at the American College report, I had the impression I was reading a report from the Buggy Whip industry, complaining about the dangers and high cost of transportation caused by the advent of automobile. These were the Buggy Whippers’ findings, I’m sure: paved roads would be a waste of taxpayer resources; since only the rich can afford automobiles, poor and middle class people will be deprived of any means of transport; and rules should be adopted requiring that all these newfangled horseless carriages be led a person on foot waiving a warning flag. For the Buggy Whippers, learning to drive, or even get a bicycle, would not be considered viable options.
