Amended Rule 45: Will Nonparties Pay the Price of EDD?
John F. Baughman and H. Christopher Boehning
Thursday, November 9, 2006
Case law on nonparty cost shifting has been slow to develop, but a few 
lessons are available. Take, for example, the doctrine of mutually 
assured destruction, which led to a half-century of uneasy standoff 
between the United States and the former Soviet Union during the Cold 
War. The doctrine also has a moderating influence on the scope of 
parties' electronic discovery -- at least in cases between large 
corporate entities.

Well-Cooked Hash Makes Finger-Licking E-Discovery
Craig Ball
Monday, November 13, 2006
I love a good hash. Not the homey mix of minced meat and potato Mom 
used to make. I mean hash values, the results of mathematical 
calculations that serve as reliable digital "fingerprints" of 
electronically stored information.

Mining Matrimonial E-Data
By Scott James Andino
The Matrimonial Strategist
September 28, 2006
Few technological advancements or social movements have impacted 
matrimonial law as profoundly as the computer/electronic age. Today, 
litigants have a virtual Pandora's box of incredibly vast yet 
retrievable information at their fingertips, which all too often 
remains underutilized or undiscovered.
