In their blog, Omer Er and Maggie Franz analyze the evolving landscape of 28 U.S.C. Section 1782, a significant tool for litigants in foreign disputes to access U.S.-based evidence. They examine the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ZF Automotive decision, which clarified that Section 1782 applies only to tribunals with governmental authority, excluding private arbitration panels. The authors also highlight how state courts in New York and California are emerging as key players in providing alternative avenues for discovery, offering new strategies for litigants navigating these legal changes.
