Changes in the American economy continue to force law firms to be more efficient than they have ever been. Starting Jan. 1, Assembly Bill 1354 and its changes to the California Code of Civil Procedure will make privilege logs in state court cases the norm rather than the exception for responses to written requests for production of documents.
Defense attorneys practicing primarily in state court will need to exercise more foresight and initiative in discovery to control the costs and pace of litigation. A well-prepared early offense may allow defense attorneys to obtain stipulations that will significantly reduce the amount of time required to prepare privilege logs, thereby reducing costs for their clients.
