Scheindlin, Capra, and The Sedona Conference's Supplementary Materials on Electronic Discovery: For Use in Civil Procedure Courses

This supplement provides civil procedure students with in-depth treatment of the challenges of electronic discovery—an important component of modern litigation seldom explored in standard casebooks. Judge Scheindlin is author of the landmark Zubulake> opinions, which set the standard for electronic discovery jurisprudence. Professor Capra serves as special master on electronic discovery issues in several federal cases. The Sedona Conference® papers and major cases are interspersed throughout. Professor Richard Marcus, the Reporter to the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and the principal architect of the electronic discovery amendments of 2006, frames the issues in an introduction.
