Of the many issues regarding electronically stored evidence (ESI) that have arisen in recent years, spoliation has claimed a spot of particular prominence. One of the thorniest issues has been the debate over what exactly is required to result in spoliation sanctions, since merely showing that ESI has been lost is never enough. Spoliation in the Electronic Age, 2011 Edition provides an in-depth examination of the requisite standards. Litigators will prize this book for its thorough treatment of legal and practical considerations necessary to bring or defend a motion for the spoliation of ESI, as well as for its complete analysis of how to prevent spoliation in the first place. The book, the fourth volume in BNA Books' Electronic Discovery Portfolio Series, expertly moves from analysis of court-imposed sanctions to advice on the concrete steps required to build one's case that sanctionable spoliation has or has not occurred. 

The new 2011 Edition expands and updates the discussion of such topics as:  

• Cases in which spoliation was found and sanctions either were awarded or were not  
• Judge Scheindlin's withdrawn opinion on productions and accompanying metadata  
• Possible revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to address preservation/spoliation and the related empirical study regarding spoliation sanctions conducted by the Federal Judicial Center  

Based on the authors' broad and diverse e-discovery experience, the book seamlessly integrates the theoretical and practical considerations necessary for practitioners to effectively litigate a spoliation matter. In a field as fact-specific as e-discovery, attorneys must have detailed knowledge of the cases that have established the ground rules. Spoliation in the Electronic Age provides that knowledge, analyzing the most important cases for instructive value.

Spoliation in the Electronic Age, 2011 Edition is authored by Adam P. KohSweeney, counsel at O'Melveny & Myers LLP, San Francisco, CA, and a member of the firm's Labor and Employment Practice; Roberta H. Vespremi, counsel in O'Melveny's Silicon Valley office and a member of the firm's Securities Litigation and Electronic Discovery and Document Retention Practices; and Eric Chan, an associate in O'Melveny's Los Angeles office and a member of the firm's Intellectual Property and Technology Practice Group and Electronic Discovery and Document Retention Practice.
