Discovery and evidentiary rules developed to deal with written documentation may not be flexible enough to adequately cover this relatively new method of storing information.

Digital Democracy: Anderson V. Bell & The Expansion Of Electronic Signatures In Election Law, Barry G. Statford

Utah OnLaw: The Utah Law Review Online Supplement

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

While current research offers numerous case studies, viewpoints, and technical descriptions of cloud processes, our research provides a close examination of the language used in cloud contract terms.
