    This course focuses on discovery of information that is generated and stored in electronic format. Requests for such information, and disputes arising from the requests, have become commonplace in the federal civil justice system. The course will examine how discovery requests are made and responded to, how disputes are addressed under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and how the amendments to the Rules will affect requests, responses, and the resolution of disputes. The course will also examine the ethical duties of lawyers in the area of electronic discovery and will introduce students to presentation of evidence in electronic format at trial.
