Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure
Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court has recently ratified changes to the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure (FRCP), which took effect on December 1, 2006. These changes shift the
rules of discovery in a legal proceeding from a focus on policies for electronic
records retention, disposition and preservation, to a focus on procedures that will
streamline evidence presentation.
The amendments introduce the phrase “electronically stored information” to Rules
26(a)(1), 33, and 34, to acknowledge that electronically stored information is discoverable.
The expansive phrase is meant to include any type of information that can be stored
electronically. It is intended to be broad enough to cover all current types of
computer-based information, and flexible enough to encompass future changes and
technological developments.
Key questions for information technology include:
- Where is the data in question?
- What actions were taken to preserve it?
- How can the data be searched and reproduced?
- Just what is the company's established data retention/deletion policy?
