Electronic Discovery Practice Under the Federal Rules, 2010 Edition examines the history of the changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to discovery of electronically stored information (ESI) and analyzes the revisions in relation to existing discovery practice. This resource provides a complete understanding of the rules and their application in subsequent case law, and examines how the revised rules can be applied to maximum effectiveness in civil litigation.
