In the beginning, there was Zubulake.
OK, maybe that’s an overstatement, but it is no overstatement to say that most civil litigators were introduced to the world of e-discovery through the series of opinions leading up to the final decision in Zubulake v. UBS Warburg, a 2004 case out of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The other notorious case that woke up litigators to the issues involving e-discovery was Morgan Stanley & Co. v. Coleman (Parent) Holdings, a 2004 case that went before Florida’s 4th District Court of Appeals.
