An article by ACEDS staff posted on the aceds.org website.
This article discusses an important development that pertains to criminal procedure and a new protocol that has is being implemented regarding eDiscovery.
The article states, "The US Department of Justice, the federal courts and criminal offense bar have taken a major step to bring e-discovery into the criminal courtroom and in pretrial proceedings. The Justice Department prosecutes thousands of criminal cases each year for a wide range of crimes that are contained in various titles of the US Code, particularly Title 18, 26 and 31. The crimes range from arms trafficking to wire fraud and hundreds in between.
A new "Protocol," signed earlier this week, has been negotiated for 18 months. It was produced by the Joint Electronic Technology Working Group (JETWG), which "was created to address best practices for the efficient and cost-effective management of post-indictment ESI discovery… in federal criminal cases.""
The article further provides the specific details of the protocol. The protocol details 15 categories of information that would be subject to production in a criminal proceeding.
