Sep 01, 2011

LCJ took action last week to improve the e-discovery rules to which corporate defendants are held accountable.

LCJ's comment titled “A Prescription for Stronger Discovery Medicine: The Danger of Tinkering Change and the Need for Meaningful Action,”which was submitted to the Civil Rules Advisory Committee on August 18^th, 2011, provides detailed analysis of problems associated with discovery, especially electronic discovery, as well as the dangers of defaulting to meaningless, “tinkering” changes as solutions to those problems.
