Electronic discovery changed the way we look at documents. The volume and complexity of electronic document collections (increasingly referred to as "electronically stored information") means that human review is no longer reliable, cost efficient, or even possible. But at the same time, the fact that the documents are in electronic form opens up a new world of automated search and retrieval methods that may be more accurate and much cheaper, from using variations on simple "keyword" searches to cutting-edge applications involving text analytics of various sorts and even artificial intelligence. What limitations exist in the ways lawyers presently conduct searches for relevant documents? What alternatives exist to keyword searching? What do lawyers and clients have to do in strategically thinking about search issues while in litigation, either as propounding or responding parties? To what extent should search protocols remain attorney work product, and to what extent should they be shared as part of a more open and collaborative process under the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure?

The Sedona Conference Working Group 1 on Electronic Document Retention & Production has published a Commentary that explains these new methods and the science behind them in lay terms, and provides practical guidance to help you through the process of making good choices and finding the right tool for the job. The questions raised by these new methods, and some practical answers, are explored by the editors in a 90-minute, interactive webinar.

We are NOT seeking MCLE accreditation for this program.
