The Supreme Court of Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure allow for the discovery of electronically stored information. The rules are largely analogous, but differ in some ways. Ohio does not have a mandatory meet and confer provision.

The United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio set forth: 'Default Standards for Discovery of Electronically Stored Information ("E-Discovery"),' which include designating an e-discovery coordinator if an agreement cannot be reached.

Rules are current July 1, 2008 through present.
