J. Kent Holland wrote a great article in his monthly Construction risk report about discovery of electronic information. <a href="http://www.constructionrisk.com/newsletter/articles/newsletter09-10.htm#2">Electronic Discovery Requires Cooperation between Opposing Counsel</a>The article focused mostly on which emails between a CM(Hill International) and their client were admissible based on the keywords within the emails. Because the CM was using general email that could not be differentiated by each project they were working on the generic keywords that the client proposed for the searching would have lead to the CM turning over email from other client projects. Had the cm used a collaborative project management system for all communication with the client then all communication for that clients projects would have been filtered before the keywords were applied.
