omplete the below assignment. You may utilize as many resources as you feel necessary. I have included the links to the video and reading material below. If you have any questions please let me know. Review the Unit 7 resources and conduct further research as needed. Respond to each question or point below. Your document should be at least 2 but no more than 4 pages. APA and MLA formatting is not necessary, but please put your name, course name, and date at the top of the document on the first page only. If you use acronyms, be sure to spell out the term initially [ex: electronically stored information (ESI)]. If you cite an FRCP rule, please cite the rule number and subsection. Submit the document in Word or PDF format to the Assignment area for Unit 7. 1) What is the difference between native files and load files? When defining these terms, provide an answer in laymen's terms as if you were explaining the difference to a jury of non-technical people. Why is it critical for e-discovery professionals to know the difference between these terms? 2) Regarding production, are there any rules within the FRCP that establish the foundation for production, and if so, what the rule number and elements of the rule? (hint: This is answered in the reading materials) 3) Research the BTK Killer and how metadata played a role in solving a series of homicides. What is the significance of metadata in this case, or any criminal or civil case, and why is it important to present this type of ESI along with the original file or data content? 4) Discuss three take-away points from the interview with Mr. Roffman and briefly discuss their significance to your career, whether current or future.
