On December 1, 2010 new amendments to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) governing expert witnesses went into effect. The amendments affect the discoverability of all drafts and written communications and now limit disclosures to “facts or data” used by the expert to form opinions. In this course Janae Long details what the amended rules now mean for the discoverability of written reports, communications and other expert work product. The main topics addressed include goals, history of the FRCP, the 2010 Amendments to Federal Rule 26 and the admissibility of scientific evidence. Further issues discussed by Ms. Long include the 2006 amendments to the FRCP & ESI, the work product doctrine, non compliance, warnings, export reports, FRE 702, basis of opinion, Frye, and Daubert.
