Brad,

There are federal rules of civil procedure regarding e-discovery, which apply to issues/litigation filed in a federal 
court.  Many states, mine included, have adopted the same rules for e-discovery, which pertain to issues/litigation 
filed in a state court.  It's a good idea to know what the rules are in your state, as they may be different than the 
federal rules...

Subject: [SECURITY] Email Archiving

We are installing a new email system here on campus and my question is, is it a law that we are required to have email 
archiving?

I have been doing a little light reading of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures and EDiscovery, but now I am more 
confused.

I see that 17 states have adopted the rule and another eighteen states are considering it.  I thought a federal rule 
was mandatory for all states.
