Abstract
On October 7, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision in In re del Valle Ruiz that significantly expands the ability of parties to foreign legal proceedings to obtain discovery from U.S. courts. The Second Circuit reached two key conclusions that work to expand the reach of discovery by American courts: first, that the reach of 28 U.S.C. section 1782 applies to the full limit of constitutional due process, and second, that there is no bar on the ability of U.S. courts to order the production of documents outside of the United States under section 1782.
