Courts - "First Take on Federal Rule of Evidence 502"
Leonard Deutchman has this article in the Pennsylvania Law Weekly that begins:
In Rhoads Industries v. Building Materials Corp, No. 07-4756 (E.D. Pa. Nov. 14, 2008), Judge Michael M. Baylson of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania issued the first opinion to apply newly enacted Federal Rule of Evidence 502, which governs how privileged materials inadvertently produced in discovery are to be treated. Examination of the court's opinion reveals, in my view, weaknesses in both the court's analysis and the rule itself.Related is this article, "How Rule 502 Affects Lawyers and E-Discovery," an Oct. 8th special to Law.com, by Robert A. Schwinger and Eric Twiste.
