Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure addressing discovery of electronically stored information. Effective Dec. 1, 2006.
Excerpts from the September 2005 Report of the Committee on Rules of Practice & Procedure and the May 2005 Report of the Civil Rules Advisory Committee.
The amendments revamp existing discovery rules in order to better accommodate discovery directed at information generated by computers. The amendments affect Rules 16(b), 26(a), 26(b)(2), 26(b)(5), 26(f), 33, 34(a), 34(b), 37(f) and 45, as well as Form 35. Includes a historical analysis, a description of the efforts which led to the amendments, a statement of each rule change in "black line" format, as well as explanatory "Committee Notes." Also includes coverage of amendments to non-discovery related rules (Rules 5(e), 50(b), new Supplemental Rule G, and conforming amendments).
