E-Discovery: Subpoenas and Non-Party Production Issues

 

Understand the federal rules governing third-party subpoenas.

Document discovery isn't limited to direct litigation or internal and employee investigations. Third-party subpoenas often require a similar approach as discovery during litigation. Such subpoenas allow parties in civil litigation to obtain evidence, including documents and testimony, from individuals or organizations who are not part of the lawsuit--that is, from third parties. This presentation will help legal professionals to understand the federal rules governing third-party subpoenas, assess the factors that impact a decision regarding whether to object to a third-party subpoena, understand the subpoena response process, and analyze the various factors that impact the burden of responding to third-party subpoenas.
