FRCP e-Discovery — Rules 26 / 34 / 37 + FRE 502 (privilege) — 75% covered.
4 requirements · 3 enforced · 0 designed · 0 advisory · 0 deferred.
Source: The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure govern discovery in US federal litigation. Rule 26(b)(5) governs privilege claims; Rule 26(g) requires an attorney to certify that every discovery response is complete and reasonable; Rule 34 governs production of electronically stored information (ESI); Rule 37(e) governs sanctions for failure to preserve ESI; and Federal Rule of Evidence 502 governs privilege waiver and clawback. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-assisted privilege determination / production decision / discovery certification may PROCEED to a consequential litigation action — under a named supervising attorney's authority, with chain-of-custody recorded, with a signed Evidence Pack, and a contestability record so the determination can be reconstructed and challenged. KYE does not do the legal research, judge whether a document is in fact privileged, or render the attorney's certification judgment. · License: The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence are US government works in the public domain; KYE registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official rule identifier for mapping purposes only.
