The document discusses the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), which provides a framework for electronic discovery (e-discovery) processes. It outlines the typical stages involved, including identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis, and production of electronic documents. The summary also notes that discovery costs, including review, make up around 70-80% of litigation expenses.

- 6. Processing (Paper and Digital) Digital email and documents Load native files direct into Concordance, Summation, etc. Parse last 10 authors De-duping and culling (initial or secondary after collection) De-dupe within or across custodians, by hash, Message ID, visual (paper), other Culling by date, folder, type, etc. Quality control and chain of custody QC metadata during copying/transfer
