| Activity Or Mission | LCJ PROMOTES THE CORPORATE AND DEFENSE PERSPECTIVE ON ALL PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE FEDERAL RULES AND WORKS PROACTIVELY TO ACHIEVE SPECIFIC RULE REFORMS BY GALVANIZING CORPORATE AND DEFENSE PRACTITIONERS AND LEGAL SCHOLARS TO OFFER CONSENSUS PROPOSALS TO THE RULE MAKERS. OUR CURRENT FEDERAL RULEMAKING AGENDA IS FOCUSED ON REINING IN THE COSTS AND BURDENS OF DISCOVERY THROUGH FRCP AMENDMENTS RELATED TO OUR THREE PILLARS OF DISCOVERY REFORM: (1) A NATIONAL AND UNIFORM SPOLIATION SANCTION APPROACH; (2) A FAIR AND PRACTICAL REVISED SCOPE OF DISCOVERY; AND (3) DEVELOPMENT OF INCENTIVE-BASED "REQUESTER PAYS" DEFAULT RULES. WE BELIEVE IT IS CRITICAL TO ADDRESS ALL THREE IN ORDER TO RESCUE THE CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEM, WHICH IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF REPAIR. THE CURRENT DISCOVERY RULES ENCOURAGE BROAD, EXPENSIVE, AND OFTEN UNNECESSARY DISCOVERY, WHICH THWARTS THE AVAILABILITY OF A JUST, SPEEDY AND INEXPENSIVE DETERMINATION OF THE ISSUES. | ActivityOrMissionDesc |

| Desc | E-DISCOVERY:FEDERAL: LCJ HAS LED THE DEFENSE COMMUNITYS CAMPAIGN TO AMEND THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE TO REDUCE THE COSTS AND BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH DISCOVERY OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION. LCJ'S PROACTIVE AND PERSISTENT ADVOCACY IS SHOWING RESULTS: THE FRCP AMENDMENT PROPOSALS APPROVED BY THE RULES COMMITTEE IN AUGUST 2013 REFLECT SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN TWO OF THE THREE KEY AREAS OF LCJ'S WORK: 1) AN ALL-NEW RULE 37(E) PRESERVATION RULE THAT BARS SANCTIONS FOR LOSS OF ESI ABSENT PREJUDICE, AND RESTRICTS THE MOST SEVERE SANCTIONS TO INSTANCES WHERE A PARTY ACTS "WITH THE INTENT TO DEPRIVE ANOTHER PARTY OF THE INFORMATION'S USE IN THE LITIGATION"; 2) A PROPOSAL TO AMEND RULE 26(B)(1) TO RE-DEFINE THE SCOPE OF DISCOVERY TO INCLUDE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO CLAIMS AND DEFENSES AND PROPORTIONAL TO THE NEEDS OF THE CASE - ELIMINATING THE OVERBROAD CONCEPTS OF "REASONABLY CALCULATED TO LEAD TO THE DISCOVERY OF ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE" AND THE "SUBJECT MATTER" OF THE LITIGATION. LCJ HAS MAINTAINED A CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE WITH KEY MEMBERS OF THE FEDERAL JUDICIAL CONFERENCE, AND ENCOURAGES THE INPUT OF LCJ MEMBERS IN THE RULE MAKING PROCESS. | Desc |
