Civil ProcedureStreamlining litigation and reducing expense are two of the goals of an efficient legal system. To that end, the Rules Committee of the Superior Court should borrow from New York and adopt an evidentiary rule that documents produced and created by a party as a result of a discovery request are presumed to be authentic. This would reduce the need to waste time and money "laying a foundation" for, say, business records when the materials are produced during discovery.
