This was the first online CLE program I hosted with Pike & Fischer back in December of 2006, the predecessor to BNA’s Digital Discovery and e-Evidence publication. Given the fact there have been at least 80 shows since, it must have gone alright. I believe this was one of the first shows on the electronic discovery circuit which attacked the nuts and bolts of an electronic discovery project in the trenches.

We will discuss how cases like Qualcomm and Zubulake have changed the role of lawyers in electronic discovery matters into an almost outside auditor like position. We also talk about a more recent case, Bray Gillespie v. Lexington Ins. and how outside counsel can get stung by their own actions. Change and accepting new responsibilities are the key messages of these cases. They also highlight the critical need of better project management.

Listen to Cleveland, Ohio based E-Discovery consultant Brett Burney from Burney Consultants and Pittsburgh, Pennsylania based Karl Schieneman from JurInnov discuss project managing electronic discovery and cover material from a chapter in a book I wrote for PBI on “Project Managing E-Discovery?” It will be nice to step out from behind the desk a little bit on a podcast and Brett and I will be co-hosting this show or having a 2 way discussion on this topic which we both believe is critical to doing projects better and more cost effectively. Recently in May 2009, The Sedona Conference WG1 drafted a publication called “Achieving Quality” which provides an overview of some strategies which appear to offer promise to improve the quality of electronic discovery review projects. The publication begins with the importance of having a strong team leader for project management purposes.
The Ethical Obligations in Electronic Discovery
In this podcast, we examine generally why Ralph Losey believes there are more issues with spoliation and sanctions in electronic discovery than in any other area of law.

Rule 1.1 Competence, Rule 1.3 Diligence, Rule 1.6 Confidentiality, Rule 3.2 Expediting Litigation, Rule 3.3 Candor to the Tribunal and Rule 3.4 Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel.

What works and what you should be concerned about before embarking on electronic discovery in a bankruptcy case. What some of the electronic discovery concerns are when facing a bankruptcy process? Why bankruptcy attorneys need to understand Electronically Stored Information (ESI).
This show will generally discuss the different types of search tools that are out there and why they all operate differently. We will discuss some fairly granular issues which the unwary might not notice when relying on a search engine to find everything. Topics we will discuss include the differences between search engines, how search engines operate, the role stop words play within search engines, to what extent hiring search experts is required, strategies for deduplicating documents, how to store data in your search engine, wading through misspelled words, variants and synonyms, the issue of saving accurate time zone metadata in ESI, different quality control steps for review, how to evaluate different search engines, and where these two experts believe the field of search will be heading in the next few years.
