Electronic Discovery Comes to Iowa

In the past few weeks I have examined the new federal rules for electronic discovery in fairly great detail (at least for a blog). Now Iowa has proposed electronic discovery rules for Iowa state courts. A Supreme Court advisory committee is taking public comment on the proposed rules until May 1, 2007.

This should come as a great relief to computer savvy Iowa attorneys and should serve as a call to arms for the neo-luddites. If you would like information on Lawpportunities' seminars covering what every Iowa business needs to do to prepare for the new rules changes, contact Rush or myself. For more information on the proposed rules, including a link to a podcast discussing the new federal rules, which are fairly similar to the propsed Iowa rules, check out this post by business lawyer Rush Nigut on Lawpportunities.
