Peter S. Vogel, trial partner at Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP and contributor to this blog, wrote an interesting piece about the role that a special master plays in electronic evidence disputes. Mr. Vogel writes that a special master in e-discovery usually:
conducts interviews of IT employees; reviews software; examines data; searches websites; holds hearings on various disputes; assists judges by reviewing motions for summary judgment; and has private meetings with judges.
Mr. Vogel also discusses three cases in which he was appointed the special master. The cases relate to e-mail authorship, copyright infringement, and improper billing. Read the full article here.
