An Overview of E-discovery in the U.S.
“E-discovery” is a general term that applies to how the US legal system handles disclosures of electronically stored information in the context of litigation. Since the advent of specific Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in December 2006, e-discovery has increasingly become important to pretrial litigation and many cases (and interpreted depositions) can become bogged down in it or even turn on issues related to electronic information. This presentation will discuss the basic issues involved with understanding e-discovery and helping clients and litigants work through e-discovery issues and communicate with each other to resolve them.
