Redaction
The practice of identifying and removing or blocking information from documents being produced pursuant to a discovery request or as evidence in a court proceeding. Specifically, attorneys are required to redact documents so that no more than the following information is included in court filings: (1) The last four digits of the Social Security number and taxpayer-identification number; (2) the year of the individual’s birth; (3) if the individual is a minor, only the minor’s initials, and (4) the last four digits of the financial account number.
