A New Imperative for E-mail Evidence

Introduction
The December 2006 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) are
significant and can potentially affect any organization - small businesses and large
ones, government agencies as well as companies, school boards and community
associations. Any organization that could face a law-suit should be aware of these
new rules – preferably, long before being forced to by opposition lawyers.
If you enter into civil litigation, there is a strong likelihood you will be required to
produce e-mail messages during the discovery process.
