Competing Views on the Permissible Scope of In-House Expert Witness Discovery at FERC: Without Guidance, FERC Litigants Face Risk and Uncertainty.
05/16/13 - By Jason Gray , Senior Associate, Duncan, Weinberg, Genzer, & Pembroke, P.C. Attorneys' work product, mental impressions, legal theories, and conclusions generally fall within a zone of privacy and, therefore, are protected from disclosure. In addition, attorneys regularly rely on subject-matter experts to develop and implement litigation strategies. These experts routinely prepare materials to be used in litigation. In certain instances, materials prepared for litigation by experts are deemed to fall within the protected zone of privacy and are protected from disclosure by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ("FRCP"). In many respects, administrative litigation before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC" or "Commission") is similar to litigation before Federal courts. FERC has promulgated rules to govern discovery in litigation and has modeled its rule governing discovery of materials prepared in anticipation of litigation, Rule 402(b), on the Federal rule.
