e-discovery 2.0

Next week, as most of you know, is the Superbowl of legal technology events.  And, so if this is a newsflash, you’ve probably found this blog by searching for the European Cockpit Association (“ECA”).  If on the other hand you have an unnatural affinity for the other ECA – early case assessment — then you’ve probably been planning to head to this year’s LegalTech show immediately after the last one ended.

For fear of gratuitous self promotion, I will be moderating several panels with e-discovery pundits on the first day. Akin to the upcoming Superbowl, these “Supersessions” will be chockablock with EDD luminaries and it’ll be all I can do to get a word in edgewise.  Below is the schedule. Feel free to pre-register since we expect a packed house.

1:00 – 2:00 pm: The E-Discovery Expert Panel.  This session will discuss best practices in e-discovery. Panelists include:

• Jay Brudz, senior counsel, legal technology at GE;
• Ron Best, director of legal information systems at Munger, Tolles and Olson, LLP, and
• Brian Hill, senior analyst at Forrester Research, Inc.

2:15 – 3:15 pm: Strategies for Transparency and Cooperation in E-Discovery. This session will discuss how to move toward a more cooperative resolution of legal disputes.  Speakers include:

• Sean Gallagher, partner at Hogan & Hartson, LLP and
• Lauren Schwartzreich, associate at Outten and Golden, LLP

3:30 – 4:30 pm: Ask the E-Discovery Doctors. The “doctors” will take questions from the audience and provide their prescriptions for a wide-range of e-discovery topics.

• Craig Ball, attorney and president, Craig D. Ball, P.C.
• Ralph Losey, attorney and co-chair of E-Discovery Practice Group, Akerman Senterfitt,
• George Socha, attorney and president, Socha Consulting, LLC

While it’s probably not fair to pick a favorite session, my sense is that the last one will be the most anarchical, chaotic, and stimulating, assuming that the speakers don’t take the faux Doctor thing too far (yes, they will be in scrubs).
