2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ESTThe Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide the framework for discovery, but applying them strategically and defensibly in complex cases is another matter. In this practical and interactive session, Judge Andrew Peck and Rose Hunter Jones draw on decades of experience from the bench and the trenches to break down how to use the Rules to your advantage. From safeguarding privilege with Rule 502(d) Orders to crafting airtight ESI protocols and managing proportionality battles under Rule 26(b)(1), this session will equip litigators with the tools to navigate modern discovery with confidence and compliance.
Hon. Andrew J. PeckRose J. Hunter JonesDaniel M. Schiavetta 3:10 pm - 4:10 pm ESTBefore active litigation begins in federal court, the proper parties must be brought into the case and the allegations established. Some parties may be improperly joined, or other parties may have to be brought in for litigation to permissibly proceed. The jurisdiction of federal courts is limited and depends on the legal theories asserted, the identity of the parties, and where they fit in the caption.
