Proportionality and e-Discovery: The New Tools of the Trade
Proportionality and e-Discovery: The New Tools of the Trade

In December 2015, FRCP 26(b)(1) was amended to require that discovery be “proportional to the needs of the case.” Since the amendment, litigants have benefited from and struggled with the rule, new tools are emerging, and courts have taken varied approaches to implementation. In light of these developments, we believe addressing the following topics would be very beneficial: (1) changes to the rule; (2) emerging trends and e-discovery implications; (3) court rulings – what works, what does not, sanction-worthy conduct, and variations by jurisdiction; (4) cost shifting and cost-sharing alternatives; and (5) practice tips and practical applications.
