&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;In its investigation of the 2008 financial meltdown, the Congressional Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) subpoenaed Goldman Sachs for details on sales of CDOs, names of clients, and a list of documents the firm provided to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Sure enough, the FCIC found itself on the receiving end of one of BigLitigation&amp;rsquo;s signature moves: the passive-aggressive, insanely over-inclusive document dump. In this case: 2.5 .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phil Angelides, chairman of the FCIC, furiously mixed metaphors in decrying the tactic: &amp;ldquo;We did not ask them to pull up a dump truck to our offices to dump a bunch of rubbish&amp;rdquo; &amp;hellip; [T]his has been a very deliberate effort over time to run out the clock &amp;hellip; We should not be forced to play, &#39;Where&#39;s Waldo?&#39; on behalf of the American people.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Figurative dump trucks aside, surely the &amp;ldquo;documents&amp;rdquo; are overwhelmingly in the form of &amp;ldquo;Electronically Stored Information&amp;rdquo; (ESI).&amp;nbsp; Meaning, unless the FCIC can force Goldman to winnow down the documents, the FCIC will find itself in the brave new world of large-scale e-discovery, the forensic search among ESI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some recommended reading on e-discovery:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; An interesting take from Akermann partner Ralph Losey: The Trials and Tribble-ations of the Data Deluge. (Yes, nerds, he compares data to tribbles.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; E-Discovery: A Litigator&amp;rsquo;s Perspective&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Electronic Discovery 101 - From ESI to the EDRM (slideshow)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-posted by brian&lt;/p&gt;
