Federal Rules of Evidence 502 (b) Inadvertent Disclosure (E-Discovery)

We switch now from rules of procedure to Federal Rules of Evidence. Rule 502(b) Inadvertent Disclosure may give you protection when attorney-client privileged- or work product-protected material is inadvertently disclosed. By now, you know that nothing comes easy. There are always strings attached. Here are three of the strings needed to be covered by the rule:
The disclosure had to be inadvertent.
You (as the holder of the privilege or protection) took reasonable steps to prevent disclosure.
You noticed and responded promptly to your error and took reasonable steps to fix the error.
