Do ESI Protocols bring much-needed order to chaos, or are they traps for the unwary? Join the discussion as we consider ESI Protocols from the perspectives of corporation and law firms. We’ll discuss if and when a matter merits a protocol, what subjects to cover in the protocol, why it’s critical to (really) understand every specification in the protocol, and how a proper protocol helps shapes workflow and technical considerations.
