E-Discovery: Round Two

A new research report published by the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) is designed to help states prepare for requests for electronic information. The report, entitled The Search Is On: State CIO Starting Points for E-Discovery, is a response to last year’s amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure concerning the discovery of electronic information during litigation.

John Moore highlights the significance of the new research in Federal Computer Week, writing that “a multidisciplinary team should manage an electronic records management effort”, which can, according to NASCIO, ”reduce the risks associated with e-discovery.”

The full report is available as a PDF document at NASCIO’s publications library.
