7. Electronic Discovery
p. 412, add new para. between "FRCP 45(d)(1)(D)." and For commentary": An attorney's ethical obligations may preclude her from tendering a host of "inadvertent" half-truths. Doing so resulted in an $8,500,000 sanction and the reference of a half dozen lawyers to the State Bar of California. One may not: (1) agree to produce certain categories of documents, and then not produce all of the documents within that category; (2) choose not to look in the correct location for discoverable documents, then represent to an adversary or a judge that his internal document search is sufficient; (3) disclose the equivalent of 1,200,000 pages of marginally relevant documents, while hiding 46,000 critically important ones; (4) bring such inadvertent failures to produce documents to the attention of a senior, then silently acquiesce in the senior's non-disclosure; and (5) make unsubstantiated assurances that all electronic discovery has been provided by his client, or by another lawyer in his law firm. Qualcomm, Inc. v. Broadcom Corp., (S.D. Cal. 2008) [2008 WL 66932], partially vacated regarding order denying the self-defense exception as to attorney-client privilege, 2008 WL 638108 (2008).
