Winning the Proportionality Fight - On Demand

Winning the Proportionality Fight - Strategies for Articulating and Countermanding Assertions of Burden

Sponsored by Logikcull

Since the 2015 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, proportionality has taken on an increasingly central—and some may argue, disproportionate—role in discovery disputes. In today’s battles over electronic evidence, proportionality can act as both a shield, allowing parties to avoid unnecessary and overly burdensome discovery, and a sword, striking down otherwise reasonable discovery due to a party’s slow, expensive, or outdated processes.
