4:40 PM - 5:50 PM Session: You can’t spell Sunshine without ‘ESI’: What you should expect under the new Florida e-discovery state rules

Florida will soon have e-discovery rules for its state courts for the first time. The product of a long process led by the Florida Bar, which elicited the views of urban and rural practitioners and judges throughout the very diverse state, the proposed rules are not mirror images of the federal e-discovery rules. They are a sea change in Florida legal procedure. Florida’s 63,000 practicing attorneys, their litigation support and IT staffs, as well as their clients, will be challenged. Most of them are unfamiliar with e-discovery and the duties it entails. What do the proposed Florida state rules require? How do they differ from the Federal e-discovery rules? When are they likely to be approved by the Florida Supreme Court? How should Florida lawyers prepare to handle them well? What penalties are they likely to face for mishandling electronically stored information, and how do you avoid them? In this special panel, experts from around the state, including the lawyer who chaired the Florida Bar rules committee, will show you what you must do to prepare and to implement them when they arrive. This is a vital panel for all Florida legal practitioners and their staffs and for the service providers that do business in the Sunshine State.
