What are an attorney’s ethical duties in the handling of discovery of
electronically stored information?
THESTATEBAROFCALIFORNIA STANDINGCOMMITTEEONPROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITYANDCONDUCT FORMALOPINIONNO.2015-193
#ClioWeb
An attorney lacking the required competence for e-discovery issues has three options:
1. Acquire sufficient learning and skill before performance is required;
2. Associate with or consult technical consultants or competent counsel; or
3. Decline the client representation.
#ClioWeb
An attorney’s obligations under the ethical duty of competence evolve as new technologies develop and become integrated with the practice of law.
