A task force of lawyers from the State Bar and Georgia Chamber of Commerce is finalizing a package of rules on electronic discovery that it will propose to the Legislature during the upcoming session.
“What we found is that Georgia does not have rules on electronic discovery either in the Civil Practice Act or in the uniform state and superior court rules,” said task force member Rocco Testani, a partner at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan whose practice includes defending companies and government agencies in civil litigation. “Over 30 states have rules on e-discovery, and that includes every single state that surrounds Georgia.”
