Sedona Update: Understanding Defensible Search & Retrieval Methods
Date: July 17, 2008
Duration: 1 hour
Lawyers in The Sedona Conference® Working Group on Electronic Document Retention and Production have spent a great deal of time exploring the nature of the search and retrieval process in the context of civil litigation and regulatory compliance. The goal is to provide the bench and bar with an educational guide to an area of e-discovery law that will result in the accurate and efficient search for relevant electronically stored information (ESI) subject to litigation, investigations and regulatory activities. This webcast will discuss the eight practice points the Search and Retrieval Sciences Special Project Team has developed. This webcast will review:
- The application and reliability of automated search tools. What can be done automatically? What level of human input is required?
- The capabilities and application of search technologies in e-discovery review, what can be reliability identified, and the risk of missing relevant or privileged ESI when searching large data volumes.
- The importance of collaboration and "good faith" during the "meet and confer" process and explanations of how new technologies can be applied in a defensible manner.
- The efficacy of using search technologies for privilege screening and the recent opinion by Judge Paul Grimm in Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Creative Pipe, Inc.
