Description

Spoliation of Evidence: Sanctions and Remedies for Destruction of Evidence in Civil Litigation 3rd Edition Margaret M Koesel ISBN 9781627222266

Spoliation of evidence is an increasingly common and costly issue in modern civil litigation. Whether representing litigants or advising clients seeking to avoid disputes altogether, attorneys will inevitably confront situations involving the loss or destruction of evidence. Case law makes clear that spoliation can lead to significant consequences, including increased litigation costs, potential tort liability, court-imposed sanctions, adverse publicity, and lasting harm to the professional and personal reputations of both counsel and clients.

Spoliation of Evidence, Third Edition is a practical and authoritative guide for addressing these challenges. Designed for litigation practitioners navigating the loss of evidence in state or federal civil actions, the book provides clear guidance on preventing, identifying, and responding to spoliation issues. Key topics include:

  • Recordkeeping obligations

  • The duty to preserve evidence

  • Independent causes of action arising from the destruction of evidence

  • Available sanctions and remedial measures

  • Criminal liability for spoliation

  • The evolving treatment of spoliation in state and federal courts

Each substantive chapter concludes with practical checklists to assist practitioners in real-world application. The volume also includes an annotated bibliography of leading treatises, law review articles, and practice-focused publications, along with a comprehensive table of cases and index, making it an indispensable resource for any attorney confronting spoliation issues.
