Litigation Support Specialists
Litigation support specialists combine the legal knowledge and skills of both paralegals and attorneys with the technical knowledge and skills of information technology professionals. In essence, ligation support specialists serve as bridges between the legal and information technology worlds. Twenty years ago, a litigation support specialist was focused on courtroom presentation and managing scanned paper. Now, since most information starts digitally and often never appears on paper, a litigation support specialist's principal focus is on managing ESI, making it easier to search, review and manage e-discovery while maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the information.
