LAW 758 Electronic Discovery
This course introduces students to the legal and technical issues associated with e-discovery and allows them to simulate the tasks performed by e-discovery lawyers. The course builds upon students' prior work in civil procedure and allows them to revisit and apply the rules and standards applicable to discovery through the unique prism of e-discovery (including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, and state privacy laws). The course weaves doctrine into a variety of exercises that require students to replicate e-discovery tasks from the perspective of both plaintiff and defendant.
This course may be counted toward the Experiential Learning credit requirement.
Prerequisites: LAW 713
