Stewart Weltman, formerly a partner at Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll P.L.L.C. and now the owner of Weltman Law Firm, has a new weblog: Lean and Mean Litigation Blog.

Don't redact or withhold on relevancy grounds - it is a dangerous metaphysical exercise for experienced trial lawyers and from my experience it is usually performed by young associates who - to say the least - don't always have a "world" view. So, unless lightening strikes and the information deemed not relevant is information that could be damaging to your client for some reason not related to the case [very unlikely] don't redact on relevancy grounds.
