Law Firm Suit For The Outsourcing of Litigation Support

The Annapolis, MD law firm of Newman McIntosh & Hennessey recently filed suit against a legal process outsourcer located in India. The case, filed in US District Court for DC, seeks a ruling from the court on the following question: “Given the pervasive nature of the signals intercept by the United StatesGovernment and UKUSA Allies, will the electronic transmission of data to foreign nationals residing overseas waive Fourth Amendment protections with respect to the data transmitted?” It appears that the law firm also submitted this question to the Ethics Committee of the DC Bar.
