New Rules Are Set
For Federal Courts
On Electronic Data
By NATHAN KOPPEL
November 27, 2006; Page B3
Federal courts are officially entering the electronic age. New
procedural rules are scheduled to take effect Friday requiring
litigants in federal court to provide adversaries with relevant
"electronically stored information."
The rules don't specify what types of electronic information are fair
game. But lawyers say they likely will include emails, electronic
documents and spreadsheets. Many federal judges have already required
electronic evidence to be produced, but the new rules will leave no
room for doubt.
