What do requestors want, and how do they obtain it?

Kinds of questions the requestor should ask of himself/herself
1. Do I understand what ESI types are involved in this case, and what I need to prove up factual allegations?
2. Is metadata going to be important? Do I need deleted ESI?
3. Will backup tapes be relevant?4. Do I need the production to be in an
electronic format? What kind of format?

Attempting to limit costs & burdens
• Narrowing the subject matter of the request to specific ‘claims’ or ‘defenses’ of the case.
• Limiting discovery to specific individuals or components of organizations
• Limiting search protocol to specific file types, custodians, timeframes.
• On site inspections vs. receiving data dumps• Agreeement with opposing side on what
consists of inaccessible ESI; deduping, etc.
