Duke Judicial Studies Center FRCP Amendments

Activity: OtherProfessional Service

Description

In 2016 the Duke Judicial Center (DJC) asked me to serve as one of three academics leading a set of studies of the effects of the electronic discovery-related 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Together with a researcher at the Federal Judicial Studies Center, we designed a survey that the DJC has sent to over 100 lawyers and judges and that has been used as the focal point for three national conferences. In Spring 2018, I led the discussion at an invitation-only conference in San Francisco, which included several federal judges and leading practitioners in the field. I was part of a two-person team drafting a report summarizing the survey and presented those results as part of a national conference in spring 2019 that are expected to form the basis to develop recommendations regarding potential new Rules amendments for consideration by the Federal Judicial Conference.
