WHITE PAPER
Current Trends: Discovery of Electronically Stored
Information on Mobile Devices and Social Media
The rise of mobile technology and the pervasiveness of social media have introduced
new questions regarding a corporation’s preservation responsibilities pertaining to elec-
tronically stored information (“ESI”) and to its potential discoverability.
This Jones Day White Paper provides an overview of recommendations for identifying
and preserving ESI, and examines how discovery rules apply to mobile devices and social
media. Particular attention is given to preservation requirements and the possible sanc-
tions imposed for data loss.
