Event Synopsis:

The Advisory Committee on Rules of Civil Procedure met to revise the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in April 2014. Civil discovery varies under US law and can include almost any material relevant to a case except that which is privileged, a product of the opposing party, or certain expert opinions. Electronic discovery (e-discovery) is used when the material is stored in electronic format.  Rule 37 addresses failure to provide information or failure to co-operate in e-Discovery. The proposed amendments to Rule 37(e) make it more standardized by using the aspect of ‘reasonableness’ to measure the degree to which entities have complied with the Rule.

This course offers an overview of the latest changes and clarifications made to the Proposed Rule 37 (e) On E-Discovery. A panel of thought leaders and practitioners organized by The Knowledge Group will help firms better understand how to apply this law and ensure compliance of their business or their clients.
