E-Discovery

Catalog description

Almost every civil case filed today will encounter issues relating to the discovery of electronically stored information ("ESI"). This course will help students understand what ESI is (e.g., e-mails, databases, metadata),what the key issues arising in cases involving ESI are, and the developing trends relating to the resolution of those issues. Students will also gain an understanding of how the federal rules affect ESI issues in litigation, applying relevant standards and tests developed from caselaw and other sources. Prerequisite(s): Civil Procedure I. Graded.
