Leonard DeutchmanIn my January 2018 piece, “An E-Discovery Opinion That’s Boring: Have We Come That Far?“, I discussed how the opinion in Winfield v. New York, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 194413 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 27, 2017) was, paradoxically, exciting because it was boring. Because e-discovery opinions involved technical matters that were outside of the understanding of the typical judge or attorney, I observed, such opinions tended to be exciting regardless of the legal issue that underlay them.
