This past weekend, we passed a milestone — 100 days since the enacting of the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as they relate to eDiscovery. In summary, those Rules attempt to give courts guidance for how to treat digital data and information, in whatever form and context it is in.

The Rules try to contain the ever escalating costs that plaintiffs and defendants. So spreadsheets, letters, contracts, e-mails and all of those files that are stored on disk and on tape, on and off the network can, should, and must be “discoverable” to all of the parties engaged in litigation.

So, after 100 days, how are the Rules standing up.

That’s what we’ll be talking about here.
