    In the case of Sadd v. Big Tugg Co. it is my opinion that Bigg Tugg Co. was justified in their denial of interview notes being handed over to Mrs. Sadd’s attorney. According to federal rule 26(a)(3), witness statements, attorney notes and other evidence does not have to be given to the opposing council unless “they are otherwise discoverable under Rule 26(b)(1); and the party shows that it has substantial need for the materials to prepare its case and cannot, without undue hardship, obtain their substantial equivalent by other means” (The National Court Rules Committee, 2014-2016).

Finally, it is important to note that the parties renewed the lease on June 4, 2014, subsequent to the plaintiffs’ initial complaints relating to the premises and surrendered possession of the premise on October 3, 2014.…

    Some citizens of Boston may not know about the segregation among the schools and the amount of time it took for every race to settle in and get along. Boston Busing was when the Boston Public Schools tried to desegregate schools by busing students to different areas of Boston. Some may say that Boston Busing was effective because it brought together two different races and cultures, but the plan was flawed and forced busing only made segregation worse which made boston busing ineffective. The plan was poorly thought out , it didn’t address the root cause , and it was implemented in a short time frame. The city of boston was purposely segregated, white people and black people were steered into different areas by racist real estate agents.…

    After reviewing Professor Spencer’s three proposals and those of several other authors, some patterns emerge. Based on the two primary systematic problems facing parties in discovery and litigation generally today—an overworked judiciary who may not always understand the problems facing litigants and perverse incentives for parties to accrue costs (usually to force settlement)—the best solutions lie in using the parties’ own incentives to limit the costs of discovery, especially given the nature of E-discovery. For example, Spencer’s second proposal offers so much promise because it encourages parties to unilaterally tailor, and limit their discovery requests, lest they have to later pay for it themselves. That said, some increased judicial…
