Course Description:
Electronic discovery has become common--and problematic. The more e-discovery is used, the more problems it seems to engender, from discovery rules that don't really apply to technical glitches that result in some electronic evidence disappearing or not being found. Now, a package of amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that took effect in December 2006 addressing e-discovery are producing controversy even though they're already being cited in cases being heard in federal district courts around the country. Some experts and litigators welcome the changes. Some say they go too far. And others say they don't go far enough. This article and audio program describe the growing problems with e-discovery, explain the new federal rules, and present the arguments for and against them. The article and audio program also look at any other new ideas for making e-discovery more effective.
