E-DISCOVERY 2009
UNDERSTANDING UCSF's E-DISCOVERY OBLIGATIONS
Governor Schwarzenegger has signed into law the new California E-Discovery Act. It is effective immediately as of June 29, 2009. The Act is very similar to the existing Federal Rules of Civil Procedure which cover discovery and preservation of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) in matters where litigation is in process or reasonably likely to occur, thus bringing state law into line with existing requirements for federal court cases. Below are links to the new California law as well as the current Federal Rules on E-Discovery. If you have questions regarding the University's E-Discovery obligations or process, please do not hesitate to contact Deputy Campus Counsel, Greta Schnetzler gschnetzler@legal.ucsf.edu .
