E-Discovery Rules take effect on September 1, 2012. I know of several
larger law firms that have already assembled their E-Discovery Committees,
developed internal practices and procedures, created E-Discovery Compliance
Checklists, E-discovery litigation forms for use in litigation, fine tuned
their litigation hold letters; and they have already retained or interviewed
third party vendors. In the case of the smaller firms, such as my solo
law practice, I have also convened an E-Discovery Committee, but mine is a
committee of 1 (me). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

sized law firm. I met with myself and voted unanimously to create
internal practices and procedures to comply with the new E-Discovery Rules,
create compliance checklists and E-Discovery litigation forms, etc.
However, I would welcome and <span style='background:white'>appreciate
the benefit of any firm that has prepared any documentation related to
E-Discovery that they might be willing to share with our committee. For

emails and text messages are so easy to use and expedite communications, people
tend to be less formal about what they say in an email or a text. If you think
discovery concerning this type of communication is not crucial, just ask any
one of the 85,000 people employed worldwide at the prestigious accounting firm
of Arthur Andersen! OOOps. You can't ask them! They all lost their
jobs! As discussed in a recent <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:State>
Bar Journal article: "The classic example is Arthur Andersen's
shredding of Enron-related documents. Several e-mails by Andersen's employees
candidly remarked and joked about the shredding of thousands of crucial
auditing materials. The result: Those e-mails surfaced, and today Andersen no
longer exists".<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
