RESOURCES
The EDRM FRCP Reference Collection contains four sets of FRCP resources:
- Articles
- Conferences
- Presentations
- Webinars
Each set contains a listing of resources, such as articles discussing the 2015 amendments. For each item, there is a link to the listed materials, links to rules discussed in the item, and additional information based on the type of item.
All four sets are available at a single page. Materials also are listed on the pages of the related rules, so that, for example, the page on Rule 26 contains tables of articles, conferences and webinars discussing that rule.
In addition, please see the Annotated “Revised Guidelines and Best Practices for Implementing the 2015 Discovery Amendments to Achieve Proportionality,” published by the Duke Law Center for Judicial Studies and updated every six weeks with new, relevant case law.
