The amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have been in place for two years now, yet electronic discovery continues to send shockwaves through the courts and general counsels' offices. Like the technology that underpins it, e-discovery case law and best practices continue to evolve offering more guidance for counsel yet more information to digest. And, while the addition of Rule 502 adds some protection in the area of privilege waiver, the jury is still out as to whether it will have a substantial impact on the high cost of discovery.
This webcast revisits the Amended Rules and their impact on recent cases, emerging technologies and industry best practices. It pays particular attention to the recently enacted Rule 502, assessing its impact from strategic and practical perspectives. Topics include:
- Rule 502 and recent case law
- Emerging and established best practices
- Recent technological developments
