Answer to Question 1

The field of law has developed its own lexicon of terms that enables those in the legal community to communicate effectively and with precision.The technology world also has developed its own lexicon.The legal team and the technology support team must learn each other's language in order for one team to communicate its needs and solutions to the other. In some cases, each group thinks it is communicating to the other, but in reality, the words used by one group may have a different meaning to the other group. In addition, the IT team needs sufficient time to develop a solution. Often the legal team waits until the last minute to advise the IT staff of the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Electronic documents can now be created, stored, and distributed with a single keystroke. For example, a single email sent to an individual's address book can result in hundred of copies of that email, as well as hundreds of replies from recipients. Critical evidence could be buried within those documents, so all must be produced and reviewed. In addition, electronically stored information has reduced retention costs.
