Context you provide

• {{regulation_updates}}: The specific regulations or areas of e-discovery you need updates on (e.g., FRCP, GDPR, state-specific rules).
• {{practice_context}}: A brief description of your organization's e-discovery practices or the specific case you're working on.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Summarize the key changes in e-discovery regulations over the past year, focusing on the areas you specify.
3. Explain the ethical standards that govern e-discovery practices, including common dilemmas.
4. Provide practical recommendations for aligning your practices with these regulations and ethical standards.
5. Suggest resources for continuous compliance education.

Output format Provide a structured response with sections: Regulatory Updates, Ethical Standards, Compliance Recommendations, and Educational Resources. Use clear, professional language.

Guardrails

• Flag any areas where you are uncertain or where regulations may vary by jurisdiction.
• Stay within the scope of e-discovery compliance and ethics.

Example {{regulation_updates}} = "FRCP changes related to electronically stored information"; {{practice_context}} = "We handle litigation support for a mid-sized law firm."
