Lawyers and clients today devote enormous amounts of time, effort and expense to discovery. More often than not, discovery, and not trial, is the central battleground of a case. The need for analytical and strategic guidance on problems in discovery is heightened by the fact that much of it is handled by relatively inexperienced lawyers, and in the case of document production, legal assistants.
Chasing Paper offers an insightful, humorous and practical approach to paper discovery. Veteran litigator Janet Kole suggests that paper discovery can appeal to young lawyers on several levels so it is less arduous, more satisfying and more productive.

Attacking Adverse Experts is a step-by-step guide to investigating, evaluating, and attacking the adverse expert in civil cases. It outlines tactics you can use to gather information about the adverse expert, both in the discovery process and on your own to: take an effective expert deposition; evaluate the adverse expert's analysis of the key issues; move to exclude his testimony; cross-examine him effectively when he testifies at trial; and more.

E-discovery has shaken up litigation across America. Judges are dealing with e-discovery issues unheard of ten years ago. Arbitrators are trying to figure out its impacts in international and domestic arbitration. Civil law practitioners, who do not yet deal with e-discovery in the same sense as common law lawyers must deal with it, may be wondering what the fuss is about. The case law is developing in a number of areas and conflicting decisions are not unusual.
