IBLS Database Summary - Electronic Evidence: Producing Electronic Data and Paper Copies The IBLS database is a comprehensive resource of summaries on Internet and E-Commerce Law written by leading experts from around the world. The following is an abstract from one such summary concerning the legalities for electronic evidence:
In the discovery phase of modern lawsuits, parties often face the production of electronic evidence or data, in addition to the production of paper documents. Under general principles and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, both types of evidence are considered "writings" or "things" that must be produced to the extent relevant or likely to lead to the production of relevant evidence.
However, production of both electronic data and paper copies gives rise to a number of discovery issues, including; who should bear the burden of such productions, whether such productions are unnecessarily cumulative, and whether such productions cause confidentiality and trade secret problems that must be resolved by entry of a protective order governing the scope of the production.
To read the summary in its entirety, please visit the IBLS U.S. Law Portal, click on "INTERNET LAWS AND REGULATIONS", and then on the bottom center link "Selected U.S. Internet Law Summaries".
