| Book: Litigating With Electronically Stored Information by Marian Riedy Price: $99 In a world where e-mail records can now make or break a case, attorneys must manage electronically stored information (ESI) effectively. This resource not only explains the latest rules affecting ESI, including contracts, torts, and criminal law, but also helps lawyers seize the upper hand in procedural matters involving jurisdiction, discovery, and evidence. This comprehensive resource increases your chances of winning disputes arising from managing and using ESI in litigation. From challenging or defending the assertion of personal jurisdiction based on ESI-based “contacts” to making or overcoming hearsay objections to ESI proffered as evidence at trial, Litigating with Electronically Stored Information provides you with the case law, rules, and best arguments to succeed. The book explores disputes likely to arise as the 2006 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are interpreted and applied, and “makes the case” for the best resolutions. This authoritative volume was written by and for litigators, but also includes topics of general applicability to attorneys and business managers, including “Fundamentals of ESI Management” and a chapter on ethical issues in managing ESI in the law firm and for the client. The first set of challenges in litigating with ESI – understanding what ESI is and how to process and review it – have come and gone. The next challenge is in using and managing ESI effectively. This comprehensive resource guides you in achieving that goal. This indispensable book brings you up to speed on the latest rules governing ESI and spells out how to manage ESI to your advantage in every phase of litigation. You get definitive analysis of the 2006 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure together with case-tested guidance in procedural matters involving jurisdiction, discovery, and evidence. Following a detailed explanation of the 2006 Amendments, this essential practice tool addresses how the new rules apply in real-world cases. It guides you through discovery in today’s Internet and e-mail age with strategies for targeting the right evidence in the vast universe of potentially discoverable ESI and for responding to discovery. You gain a clear understanding of attorney-client issues unique to ESI, including “duty to preserve” evidence requirements as they apply to e-mail and Internet activities. The book covers evidentiary rules as they apply to ESI in full detail, including authentication and hearsay, plus preservation orders and sanctions. The book also explores critical issues involving electronic surveillance and computer and Internet forensics. |
