Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel's Norman C. Simon, Brendan M. Schulman and Samantha V. Ettari write that although e-discovery decisions in the New York State Surrogate's Courts remain rare, the courts' established willingness to require cloning of nonparty attorney hard drives, and the growing body of Appellate Division jurisprudence on e-discovery topics, suggests that future guidance from the New York State Surrogate's Courts may be on the horizon.

Norman C. Simon, a partner at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, and Brendan M. Schulman and Samantha V. Ettari, associates at the firm, write: Judge Shira A. Scheindlin of the Southern District is a recognized jurist and scholar in the area of e-discovery, and her Zubulake decisions have contributed greatly to the development of both federal and state jurisprudence in this area of the law. Her most recent word on e-discovery thus deserves careful attention, as it will likely shape the standard for compliance with preservation and production obligations within the Southern District of New York, the New York state courts, and beyond.
