American Bar Association: Using metadata is OK by us

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Found via Frank Hayes blog:

Here’s something more to worry about in the face of government investigations and potential lawsuits: Document metadata. On Thursday, the American Bar Association announced that, in the ABA’s opinion, it’s ethical for lawyers to look for and use metadata embedded in electronic documents turned over to them during lawsuits…

I am speechless.

   Why would this be bad? I guess I don’t get it. Metadata is just dates and notes. Why shouldn’t all known information about a case be subjected to the jury to determine what is and isn’t evidence??

   Jennifer,
   
   the very last paragraph of Frank Hayes post makes it very clear:
   
   

   One thing is clear, though: By the time you’re sued, it’s too late to remind your management that many documents are chock full of things people typed and then thought better of.

   
   
   

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
