I was involved in a drawn out litigation over discovery once as a technical SME. Our attorney and the rest of us were very nearly held in contempt for not producing material.

Turns out the judge, in whose chambers there was a picture of him on an all-American football team in the 1960s, was dumbfounded that a DVD could contain 80,000 emails and about 30,000 other documents. The opposing counsel, equally aged, agreed.

We were literally saved by lunch -- we were able to track down the judges clerk and get her to translate.
