Electronic Discovery And The Litigation Matrix, Martin H. Redish Nov 2001

Electronic Discovery And The Litigation Matrix, Martin H. Redish

Duke Law Journal

The impact of the technological revolution on the operation of the discovery system in the federal courts has been dramatic.

Stock Market Volatility And 401 (K) Plans, Colleen E. Medill

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Sorting Out Federal And State Judicial Roles In State Insitutional Reform: Abstention's Potential Role, Charles R. Wise, Robert K. Christensen

Fordham Urban Law Journal
