An article by Mathieu J. Shapiro and Aaron L. Peskin posted on law.com on the Legal Intelligencer webpage.
The article discusses the recent eDiscovery Pilot program that has been taking place since 2009 in the 7th Circuit. and states, "Written largely by practicing attorneys who have handled actual cases with e-discovery issues, the 7th Circuit's e-discovery principles are intended both to be flexible and to create discovery obligations proportional to the value of the case. The principles seem largely consistent with the Sedona Conference approach and less inflexibly rigorous than obligations imposed by Pension Committee v. Banc of America Securities , the Zubulake v. UBS Warburg decisions and the like. Those decisions are mostly reactive and one of the main goals of the 7th Circuit's pilot program is to be proactive in identifying potential e-discovery problems and creating solutions, rather than allowing courts to impose rigid frameworks through case law.
Perhaps most importantly, the program's principles are in the process of a substantial test drive by the judges and lawyers in the 7th Circuit.'
The article provides further insight into the program, and discusses the possible future impact that this project will have.
