Episode Synopsis

In this episode, David Kramer and Jeremy Hollembeak discuss an increasingly popular, international feature of U.S. law called "1782 Actions" (so-named because they are authorized by Section 1782 of title 28 of the United States Code).  1782 Actions allow parties to proceedings before courts or tribunals around the world to obtain expansive discovery in U.S. federal courts to help with claims or defenses in their non-U.S. proceedings.
