2010 Year-End Electronic Discovery and Information Law Update

“Gibson Dunn 2010 Year-End Electronic Discovery and Information Law Update calls for Reform Reach Crescendo. Sanctions Granted Less Frequently. Government’s Duties Clarified. No Reasonable Expectation of Privacy In Social Media.”

  • “There were also numerous interesting developments in e-discovery case law. This Update is based on our review of 323 decisions, which are listed in an appendix. The number of decisions in this area continues to grow at a brisk pace, as the 2010 total was 60% higher than the approximately 200 cases we reviewed in our 2009 Year-End Update (which, in turn, was double the number of cases we identified in 2008). Although we have reported the trends for the entire year, we have chosen to focus our discussion on decisions rendered in the second half of the year rather than to repeat what appeared in our 2010 Mid-Year Electronic Discovery and Information Law Update. Some highly significant decisions from the first half of the year — for example, Pension Committee — are discussed here through the prism of later developments and reactions from the bench and bar.”
