REVISION 22 HIGHLIGHTS

This edition (Revision 22) of Handling Federal Discovery provides significant text updates to virtually every task associated with federal discovery litigation. Over 100 new cases have been added; the analyses have been expressly refined to reflect modern electronic discovery; and the prior edition's voluminous case law on proportionality and the 2015 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have been subsumed into Chapter 13. Practitioners will find a renewed focus on split of authority issues, so as to anticipate opposing arguments and successfully navigate them when they are advanced.
