 | Zubulake (pronounced "Zoo-boo-layk")
Decisions. All seven written decisions by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin (pronounced "SHEND-lin")
of the USDC for the Southern District of New York in the case of Zubulake v. UBS Warburg, LLC (Zubulake
I, Zubulake II,
Zubulake III, Zubulake
IV, Zubulake V,
Zubulake VI, Zubulake
VII). They chronicle the electronic discovery battle in a
high-stakes employment discrimination case.[1] Judge Scheindlin's
analysis of the issues presented is quite thorough, and her rulings
are widely regarded as establishing the gold standard. These decisions
ultimately set the stage for a plaintiff's verdict in excess of 29
million dollars. |

1. Not all seven of these
decisions deal with electronic discovery; however, it may be useful to read them
in chronological order to get the full flavor of Judge Scheindlin's reasoning.
