2016 E-Discovery Report: the View from the Bench - February 10, 2016

2016 E-Discovery Report: Views from Both Sides of the Bench

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA  and Exterro

In today’s “Digital Age,” everything changes at lightning-speed and everyone is required to adapt quickly. In the world of eDiscovery, things are no different; being undereducated and underprepared is no longer an option.  However, an expectation gap still exists between what judges expect related to the process of eDiscovery and what attorneys think is appropriate, which is clearly shown in Exterro’s 2nd Annual Federal Judges Survey.  Like last year, we asked judges to participate, but to gain a broader view, this year we invited attorneys who specialize in e-discovery to weigh in on the same questions (Respondents: 14 Federal Judges, 22 Attorneys).  The results this year will give legal professionals an inside look on how judges and attorneys respond to the same e-discovery questions along with information to improve their pre-trial litigation practices in 2016.

Educational Objectives:
• Overview of survey results around the FRCP eDiscovery amendments, general eDiscovery competency in the legal market and the effects of other emerging technology trends (mobile, social media, cloud) on litigation practices.
• Panelists from both sides of the bench, judge and attorney, will compare and contrast the attorney and judges responses, enabling attendees to see where the major gaps in eDiscovery occur.
• Best practices and tips to improve your litigation process that will help secure defensibility around eDiscovery activities without increasing legal spend.

Speakers:

David Yerich, Esq., Director Of E-Discovery, Unitedhealth Group
Hon. Craig B. Shaffer, United States Magistrate Judge, District Of Colorado
Hon. John Facciola (Ret.), United States Magistrate Judge, District Of Columbia
