Rockin’ Out the E-Law: A few federal judges are becoming stars as they create new e-discovery rules
July 8th, 2008
The July 2008 edition of the ABA Journal provides insight into the judicial view of e-discovery: “When electronic discovery disputes get heated in his courtroom, Magistrate Judge David J. Waxse of the U.S. District Court in Kansas has a simple strategy: “If someone comes to me and says, ‘So and so is impossible to deal with and we can’t get a deal done,’ I tell them, ‘Well, videotape the next [discovery conference] and let me watch it to see what’s going on.’
Just the idea that I’ll be watching it seems to put them all on their best behavior and suddenly they have an agreement.”
