The State of E-Discovery: An Overview of State & Uniform Rulemaking Efforts
Following the 2006 e-discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, many states have taken or are currently considering action to update their own rules of civil procedure. In many cases this is proving to be controversial. Opting not to reinvent the wheel, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws has just adopted proposed Uniform Rules that largely mirror the Federal Rules. Finally, the Conference of Chief Justices has suggested guidelines for state trial courts. Join us to learn more about these challenging efforts, as they may apply in your state and around the country. Topics to be covered:
- Which states have adopted or are considering adoption of the Federal Rule amendments?
- Why have some states opted not to impose early e-discovery meet and confer rules?
- Why are some states hesitating to act?
- How do the various alternatives compare to the Federal Rules?
This seminar will be a live Internet broadcast.
