The Federal Judicial Center — the research and education agency of the federal judicial system — has published the second edition of its influential booklet, Managing Discovery of Electronic Information: A Pocket Guide for Judges, by Barbara Rothstein, Ronald Hedges, and Elizabeth Wiggins. The 48-page publication updates the previous 2007 edition, and can be downloaded free from the center’s website. It covers a range of topics, from explaining the difference between conventional paper discovery and electronically stored information, to providing tips on a judge’s role. The booklet also includes a five-page glossary, mostly derived (with permission) from The Sedona Conference Glossary: E-Discovery & Digital Information Management (3d ed. 2010).

Rothstein is a senior judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and the former director of the Federal Judicial Center. Hedges is a retired magistrate judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. He is the principal of his self-named consultancy, and is of counsel to Iselin, N.J.-based  Corodemus & Corodemus. Wiggins is a senior research associate at the FJC.
