a California-centric collection of comments and resources about complex litigation and class action practice
Quite some time ago, I covered a few e-discovery resources on this blog. You can find that old post here.
I'm adding another to that list (additions being long overdue). This list has an interesting collection of state-by-state links. It might set you in the right direction if you have to deal with e-discovery in a state in which you don't normally practice:
After several weeks of slim pickings, this week is turning out to have more than enough news. As a big for-instance, on June 29, 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law AB 5. The Governor had previously vetoed a prior version of the bill for reasons probably related to some budgetary brinkmanship. As before, the new rules track closely with the federal rules and would spell out how and when records from fax machines, computer databases, e-mails and cell phones should be exchanged in litigation. They also set up procedures for settling disputes over data that one party contends are trade secrets or privileged attorney work-product.
The Complex Litigator reports on developments in related areas of class action and complex litigation. It is a resource for legal professionals to use as a tool for examining different viewpoints related to changing legal precedent. H. Scott Leviant is the editor-in-chief and primary author of The Complex Litigator.
