On Dec. 1, 2006, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) were amended, forever changing the discovery process. I’ll spare the reader yet another e-discovery article centered around the 2006 amendments. I only mention 2006 as an introduction to 2015, when the next set of amendments is due to take effect. Also, the 2015 amendments highlight why now, more than ever, the legal industry needs to unite behind the idea of an e-discovery certification to promote industry-wide standards and best practices.
If the 2015 FRCP Amendments are adopted, as most in the legal world think they will be, I believe that law firms, service providers and corporations will once again be faced with a shift in the process and workflow associated with e-discovery. While we are only 20 years removed from the release of Microsoft Windows 95, the litigation landscape in 2015 might be better measured in light years.
