 Discovery of Email: The Path to Production Craig Ball walks us through a path to production of electronic mail-certainly the most common and perhaps the trickiest undertaking in electronic discovery. The course may not be the shortest or the easiest, but that's not his point. Not every point discussed is suited to every production effort, but all deserve consideration every time. Recent Case Law In this recent case, legal counsel's "nonchalant review" of electronic records acted to waive the attorney client privilege as to four inadvertently disclosed emails. In this recent case, the Court entered a detailed Agreed Order regarding preservation of ESI, documents and other tangible items. US District Court Local Court Rules Atleast 28 Unites States District Courts have enacted special rules addressing electronic discovery. Here is an updated and current collection of United States District Court local rules, standards, guidelines, and forms that specifically address e-discovery issues.

Insofar as it relates to ESI, prior planning and preparation is essential for a meaningful Rule 26(f) Conference. In order to achieve this goal, it may be necessary for parties to exchange information prior to the Rule 26(f) Conference. Such a proposal is not unheard of and the benefit of such communication can be immeasurable in the long run. In fact, the United States District Court of Maryland very recently released a suggested protocol for use in cases where ESI may be involved.
