Summary of Chapter 11: Class Actions, MDL, Technology in Litigation, ADR, and Pro Se Litigation. Chapter 11 covers several critical aspects of modern litigation, focusing on advanced procedural mechanisms and the impact of technology on the legal process. It also addresses alternative methods for resolving disputes and the challenges faced by individuals representing themselves in court. 1. Class Actions. Nature and Purpose: Class actions allow a group of individuals with similar legal grievances to file a single lawsuit. This approach enhances judicial efficiency, provides access to justice for individuals with small claims, and serves as a deterrent against wrongful conduct. Key Requirements: To qualify as a class action, a case must meet several criteria, including commonality, typicality, adequacy of representation, and numerosity. These requirements ensure that the case is suitable for collective resolution. Types: Class actions can be categorized based on the relief sought, including damages class actions, injunctive or declaratory relief class actions, and limited fund class actions. Advantages and Disadvantages: While class actions offer efficiency and cost-effectiveness, they can be procedurally complex and limit individual control over litigation decisions. The court plays a crucial role in overseeing class actions, including certification, notice to class members, and settlement approval. Ethical Considerations: Attorneys must navigate conflicts of interest, ensure adequate representation, and be transparent about fees and costs. Courts and opposing counsel must treat pro se litigants fairly and uphold the integrity of the legal process. 2. Multi-District Litigation (MDL). Purpose: MDL is designed to handle complex cases with multiple plaintiffs, defendants, or jurisdictions by consolidating them into a single court for pretrial proceedings. This approach streamlines the process, reduces duplicative efforts, and fosters settlement. Process: The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) oversees the transfer and coordination of cases, centralized management by a single judge, and potential remand for trial if cases are not settled during the MDL process. Examples: MDL is commonly used in product liability cases, environmental disasters, and consumer fraud cases, where it facilitates efficient resolution and consistent rulings. Advantages and Challenges: MDL promotes efficiency and consistency but can be complex, lengthy, and raise fairness concerns, especially if cases are centralized far from the parties involved. 3. Impact of Technology on Litigation. Electronic Discovery (e-Discovery): The rise of e-discovery has transformed the litigation process, involving the collection, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI). While e-discovery offers opportunities for managing large datasets, it also presents challenges such as data volume, cost, and privacy concerns. Digital Evidence: The use of digital evidence, including documents, multimedia, and metadata, is now standard in litigation. Courts are equipped with technology to present and authenticate digital evidence effectively, though it requires careful management to ensure admissibility and reliability. Virtual Hearings and Trials: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual proceedings, offering benefits like accessibility and efficiency but also posing challenges related to technology barriers, witness credibility, and security. 4. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Types of ADR: ADR includes mediation, arbitration, and negotiation as alternatives to traditional litigation. Each method offers varying degrees of formality, control, and flexibility. Advantages and Disadvantages: ADR is cost-effective, quicker, and confidential but may offer limited discovery, no legal precedent, and potential imbalances between parties. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

How are you protecting your organization's data? Richard chats with Joanne Klein about her work with Microsoft Purview to help with data protection, management, and governance. Joanne talks about a spike in data protection concerns from Microsoft Copilot - if you have been securing data through obscurity, you're in for a nasty surprise! Copilot has a knack for finding every nook and cranny of data. Proper data protection also means effective archiving - getting rid of out-of-date or irrelevant data. And then there are the security concerns around data retention - how do you need to keep, and for how long? Microsoft Purview can help with all these problems, but you must work with leadership to get things right!LinksMicrosoft PurviewAdaptive Prevention in PurviewRecorded June 10, 2024

Section 4: Discovery. Discovery is a critical phase in civil litigation, where parties exchange information relevant to the case. This stage is designed to eliminate surprises, clarify what the lawsuit is about, and gather evidence necessary for trial. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and corresponding state rules provide the framework for discovery. Scope and Limits of Discovery. Under Rule 26(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the scope of discovery is broad. Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense and proportional to the needs of the case. The information sought need not be admissible in evidence if it appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. However, the scope of discovery is not limitless. The concept of proportionality, introduced in the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, plays a crucial role. Proportionality limits discovery requests that are overly burdensome, unnecessary, or disproportionate to the case's needs. Factors considered in assessing proportionality include the importance of the issues at stake, the amount in controversy, the parties' relative access to relevant information, the parties' resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit. Discovery Tools. Interrogatories: These are written questions one party sends to another, requiring answers under oath. Interrogatories are useful for obtaining basic information like names, dates, and details of the case. However, they are limited in number (usually to 25) and scope. Depositions: A deposition is an out-of-court testimony given under oath by a party or witness. It allows attorneys to question the deponent (the person being deposed) in person and assess their demeanor and credibility. Depositions are powerful tools for gathering information and locking in testimony before trial. Requests for Production (RFPs): Parties can request documents, electronic data, and other tangible evidence from each other. RFPs are broad in scope and can include requests for emails, documents, internal memos, and physical evidence relevant to the dispute. Requests for Admissions: These are statements sent to the opposing party to admit or deny specific assertions. They are used to establish certain facts as true for the purpose of trial, thereby narrowing the issues to be litigated. Physical and Mental Examinations: In certain cases, a party may request the court to order a physical or mental examination of a person if the person's condition is in controversy. Electronic Discovery (e-Discovery). Electronic discovery refers to the process of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in response to a request for production in litigation. ESI includes emails, documents, databases, voicemails, audio and video files, social media posts, and more. The challenges of e-discovery are manifold. First, the sheer volume of ESI can be overwhelming. Second, ESI is dynamic and can be altered, deleted, or lost, making preservation crucial. Third, ESI is often stored in complex systems, requiring technical expertise to retrieve. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure address e-discovery specifically. Rule 26(f), known as the "meet and confer" provision, requires parties to discuss e-discovery issues early in the litigation. Rule 34 allows for the request of ESI in specific forms. And Rule 37(e) provides guidance on the failure to preserve ESI, outlining measures a court may take if ESI that should have been preserved is lost. Discovery Disputes and Resolutions. Discovery disputes are common and can arise over the scope of discovery, the protection of privileged information, the format of production, and the burden or expense of the requested discovery. Strategies to resolve these disputes include: --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

The history, current state and the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is the topic of conversation with George Socha. George currently serves as Senior Vice President of Brand Awareness for e-discovery software company, Reveal Data, but back in 2005, he founded the EDRM along with Tom Gelbmann. What is the EDRM? It is a model that outlines the stages of the Electronic Discovery process.  The EDRM discovery stages are: Information Governance Identification Preservation and Collection Review and Analysis Production and Presentation In the 16 years since the inception of EDRM, the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning is much more prevalent in e-discovery, and as George explains, can be used in nearly every EDRM phase.

Michael Quartararo is the President of a company called the Association of Certified e-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS), a company owned by BARBRI, a name well known in the law space. e-Discovery is the electronic aspect of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored information for any lawsuit or investigation. Today, nearly all documents are stored on computers, which means that there needs to be ways of retrieving documentation and evidence correctly in a way that does not alter it or invalidate it. Since that's the case, it's vitally important that you or someone at your firm is trained in e-Discovery, and Michael shares with us what you need to know to get started.

Forty nine cents of each dollar spent on electronic discovery is wasted as a result of lawyers not understanding how to properly scope a preservation effort or use forms of production and collection that are both defensible and reasonable. How do lawyers stay abreast with new technology that might become a possible source of evidence and where do they get that information? Why do solo lawyers and small firms need to know about electronic discovery? In this episode of The Florida Bar Podcast host, Adriana Linares chats with Computer Forensic Examiner Craig Ball about electronic evidence, e-discovery, and how important it is for litigators to understand this data acquisition process. Craig explains why small firms and solo lawyers should be interested in e-discovery, if they want access to electronic evidence, and why printing physical copies of documents for storage is no longer practical. He also talks about the denial that many lawyers have regarding their need to understand and use new tech and provides resources online where lawyers can go to become more informed about e-discovery. Craig discusses why law firms should insist upon certain electronic competencies from their lawyers, like understanding the appropriate means by which to do reasonable searches of electronically stored information, and why he thinks the bar associations have not done enough to stress the importance of such knowledge. He then closes the interview with an analysis of emerging tools designed specifically to assist small firms and solo practitioners with e-discovery and provides specific software options that can help lawyers with the collection and preservation of evidence. Craig Ball is a trial lawyer and computer forensic examiner who focuses his practice on serving as court-appointed special master and consultant in computer forensics and electronic discovery. He is a founder of the Georgetown University Law Center E-Discovery Training Academy and serves on the academy's faculty. Craig received his J.D. from, and teaches Electronic Discovery and Digital Evidence at, the University of Texas School of Law.

Laurence Colletti interviews panelists of the incredibly important seminar titled “Electronic Discovery and Digital Evidence: Pre Discovery Through Trial” at The Florida Bar’s 2015 Annual Conference. In the first part of the podcast, he talks with electronic discovery experts John Jorgensen and Steven Teppler about the presentation “The Internet of Things,” and devices controlled online by computer code.
