E-Discovery: State and Federal Court Perspectives

Since the adoption of the e-discovery rules in the federal rules of civil procedure in 2006, parties suing and sued in federal and state courts have been subject to the rules of court and court orders that require searching, reviewing, and giving the other party in a lawsuit their electronic records. This process of e-discovery has generated many commentaries, cases and appeals. The pace of such disputes is expected to increase as social media and other forms of communication predominate. In addition, the recent push by the Federal Government to provide incentives for eligible healthcare professionals to adopt electronic medical records is also expected to accelerate the complexity of the discovery process in court. Finally, the sheer volume of email traffic has increased the cost of the entire discovery process. Our distinguished panel of judges will discuss the following topics:

• What do the state and federal rules of civil procedure require of parties in a lawsuit when it comes to searching for and producing electronic documents?
• What types of orders can a court direct against a party in a lawsuit to search for and produce electronic records?
• What have parties in lawsuits done in searching for and producing electronic records?
• What happens if a party mistakenly produces its attorney-client privileged communications to the other side?
• What can parties do to prepare for discovery orders when either filing a lawsuit or defending a lawsuit?
