Description

Following the important e-discovery reforms of 2006 and the sweeping "Restyling" Project of 2007, the "Time Computation Project" of 2009 has retooled most of the rules' deadlines for certain actions. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to practice under these rules. An expanded treatment is given to the important rules governing e-discovery. It dissects each of the civil rules and their practical applications and limitations, and discusses traps to avoid. This handbook helps you recognize and understand the changes to each rule and alerts you to those changes that are likely to have substantive ramifications beyond mere stylistic improvement.
