Don’t Take Our Word for It: 3 Judges Weigh in On Improving E-Discovery Practices in Upcoming Webcast

According to the 3rd Annual Federal Judges Survey, judges still feel the typical attorney doesn’t have the required e-discovery competency, and that applying cooperation and proportionality offers the greatest potential for improving this. One example is that more parties are making proportionality arguments, but they aren’t making good proportionality arguments. Again, cooperation and more education is key.

In regards to the FRCP changes that have now been in place for a little over a year now, 82% of the judges surveyed believe they have helped solve many current e-discovery problems. Rule 37(e) has given parties the blueprint for protecting themselves from ESI spoliation sanctions, but the rule is still being defined, especially when looking at new data types. This is why staying up on the latest case law rulings is important in order to see how the rules are interpreted by the court.

The same holds true with the findings in the Judges Survey – raw data needs to be interpreted. That’s why we asked three of the judges who participated in the survey to address key survey findings with advice on how to improve your e-discovery practices in 2017.

Presenting will be:

• Andrew Peck, United States Magistrate Judge, Southern District of New York
• Frank Maas, United States Magistrate Judge, Southern District of New York (Ret.)
• John Facciola, United States Magistrate Judge, District of Columbia (Ret.)
