Proposed and potentially recommended changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relate to refining the scope of discovery in the digital age and the consequences for a party’s failure to preserve evidence. The Civil Rules Advisory Committee is considering implementing a requirement that the scope of permissible discovery be proportional to the litigation at issue, paring down the presumptive number of discovery requests, fostering more cooperation between the parties and court involvement in managing litigation and providing safeguards for parties against sanctions for the failure to preserve discoverable information when the failure was not willful or in bad faith. Learn about these changes and how they can affect your discovery efforts.

The over-retention of information is the No. 1 information governance challenge companies face. Keeping too much information needlessly drives up discovery costs and creates unnecessary risk of a data breach. But why is it so difficult to hit the delete button? How do companies and in-house counsel get comfortable actually deleting information? This session will discuss how in-house counsel can lead an initiative to reduce the amount of data their companies retain by 50 percent or more. The panel will lead a non-technical discussion on who should be involved, what existing IT resources are required, decision points, and, most important, results.
