Tactical ediscovery framework and the FRCP planning guide
A practical guide to the federal rules you need to know in ediscovery


How to make the federal rules work for you
Good ediscovery planning doesn't start with technology. It starts with the rules. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure set the ground rules for how discovery works — and attorneys who know how to use them can control costs, reduce scope, and avoid the disputes that derail cases.
This 28-page guide breaks down the FRCP rules that matter most in plain language, then shows you how to put them into practice from the first meet and confer to final production.
5 things you'll learn:
- Which FRCP rules govern ediscovery — and what they actually require of you
- How to use the 26(f) meet and confer to set favorable ground rules before discovery begins
- How proportionality works in practice and how to use it to limit scope
- How to structure a clawback agreement that protects against inadvertent privilege waiver
- How to run a 10-step discovery process that stays on track and on budget
What's inside:
- Plain-language breakdowns of Rules 26, 34, and 37(e) — including the 2015 amendments
- A 10-step ediscovery plan you can apply to any matter
- A clawback checklist covering Rule 26(b)(5) requirements
- A bonus glossary of 100 eDiscovery terms for quick reference
