This course discusses the Supreme Court's amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which took effect on December 1, 2006. These amendments provide guidance on the handling of electronically stored information in litigation. With the publication of these amendments, a legal framework now exists from which we can analyze and build policies and process for litigation preparedness; even if some of the amendments have left room for interpretation.
