Join Carmen McLean and Ashley Heintz of Jones Day as they discuss the impacts of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that took effect on December 1, 2015 on discovery strategies and synthesize the courts applications and interpretations of the new rules over the course of the year. Topics include: what you need to consider in requesting or opposing discovery in light of Rule 26(b)s new proportionality factors; whether you are being specific enough in your objections and responses to requests for production under new Rule 34(b); and what you need to know, and what courts are focusing on, in addressing spoliation under new Rule 37(e).
