Presidential Authority to Intercept Emails, and More

The Washington Post has published an interesting article today on the federal government's power, or otherwise, to intercept emails and gather other pieces of personal information stored on computers. This article, entitled "The Legal Tangles Of Data Collection" is well worth a read (registration at washingtonpost.com may be required).

E-Discovery and the new Federal Rules

On December 1, 2006, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended to cover new developments in the world of discovery of electronically stored information ("e-discovery").

In order to provide a single source of information on the new e-discovery rules, Findlaw has created an Electronic Discovery home page from which you can access all of their e-discovery information, including an ongoing series of articles on the topic and even subscribe to their e-discovery RSS feed.
