Judges Rule on Hard-to-Discover Data
Ronni Abramson
Thursday, May 10, 2007

disputes since the landmark amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure governing the discovery of electronically stored information
went into effect on Dec. 1, 2006. These cases give -- in almost real
time -- valuable insight into how judges are interpreting the
amendments. These cases provide direction on how to handle the
identification, preservation, collection, review and production of ESI
in litigation going forward.
