The 12th Annual Sedona Conference Institute Program on eDiscovery

by The Sedona Conference

The 12th Annual Sedona Conference Institute Program on eDiscovery is a premier event dedicated to advancing the practice of eDiscovery and its integration into various legal disciplines. Organized by The Sedona Conference, a nonprofit research and educational institute, this program continues its tradition of providing cutting-edge, practical training for legal professionals.

The program covers a range of critical topics, including recent amendments to eDiscovery rules, case law developments, and court pilot projects. Sessions delve into the discovery of electronically stored information from applications, personal devices, and the Internet of Things. Attendees will also explore the use of data analytics and metrics to achieve proportionality, selection and evaluation of legal technology, and the development and execution of data breach response plans. Additionally, the program addresses cross-border eDiscovery and data transfer, as well as the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in the legal field.

The event features a stellar faculty leading interactive dialogues, including the ever-popular Judicial Roundtable, which provides observations from the bench and practical guidance for the bar. Attendance is limited to ensure maximum audience participation and dialogue with faculty, fostering an engaging and collaborative learning environment.

This program is ideal for lawyers, in-house legal personnel, eDiscovery service providers, and electronic records management professionals seeking to stay abreast of developments in eDiscovery rules, case law, and legal practice. Participants will gain valuable insights into applying eDiscovery skills and technologies across various areas of legal practice, enhancing their professional competence and effectiveness.
