Integrating Forensic Investigation Methodology into eDiscovery

I just came across a fantastic paper by Colin Chisholm and Jeff Groman, submitted as a GIAC Gold Certification paper to the SANS Institute in January 2010. As the title, Integrating Forensic Investigation Methodology into eDiscovery, would suggest, it lays out the implementation of forensic methodology to the eDiscovery process (limited to the Collection & Preservation phases of the EDRM). This paper is a great read for the three camps: Forensicators operating in the eDiscovery space, members of the legal community, and eDiscovery professionals who would benefit from some more insight into the mentality of traditional forensic investigators. It is extremely helpful for members of each group to understand the terminology, methodology, and (most importantly) the basis of thought of each of the other counterparts. This paper does a stellar job at bridging that gap.
