Today is the Day for the University of Florida E-Discovery Conference!: eDiscovery Best Practices
The University of Florida E-Discovery Conference is being held today! And, for the first time, I’m going to be there! Regardless of where you are, it’s not too late to attend!
The focus of this year’s conference is effectively managing the everyday case and they will have interesting sessions throughout the day, covering topics ranging from eDiscovery security and data protection to early assessment of the case and the data to keywords, TAR and AI (do I need to spell out those acronyms anymore?). Want to know about eDiscovery of the JFK files? It’s here. Want to get judges’ perspectives on sanctions and other eDiscovery issues? That’s here too.
The panel of speakers is a regular who’s who in eDiscovery, including Craig Ball, George Socha, Kelly Twigger, David Horrigan, Martin Audet, Mary Mack, Rose Jones, Mike Quartararo and also US Magistrate Judges John Facciola, James Francis, Judges William Matthewman, Mac McCoy, Amanda Arnold Sansone and Gary Jones, and retired Florida Circuit Court Judge Ralph Artigliere.
I’m on a panel discussion at 9am ET in a session titled Getting Critical Information From The Tough Locations – Cloud, IOT, Social Media, And Smartphones! with Craig, Kelly, with Judge Sansone. We’ll be discussing real solutions for collecting ESI from those difficult locations. Check it out!
The conference is being conducted in Gainesville, FL on the University of Florida Levin College of Law campus, though I understand it’s a full house. However, it’s also being livestreamed. There are CLE-accredited sessions all day from 8am to 5:30pm ET and the conference has been approved for 7.5 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) general credits, 2.0 ethics credits and 3.0 technology credits by the Florida Bar for attorneys attending the conference. The Florida Bar has also approved 7.5 civil trial certification credits. So, this is a great opportunity to get those needed CLE credits!
Also yesterday, E-Discovery CareerFest was conducted. And, for the first time, the Law School E-Discovery Core Curriculum Consortium (composed of law professors teaching electronic discovery courses at their respective law schools) will host its first in person workshop focusing on curriculum development on Friday, March 30th from 9am to 12pm ET.
Click here to register for the conference – it’s only $99 for livestream attendance. And, if you’re a currently enrolled student (in an ABA accredited law school, accredited E-Discovery graduate program or accredited paralegal program), it’s free(!), either in person or livestreamed. It’s also free if you’re university or college faculty, professional staff, judicial officials, clerks and employees of government bodies and agencies, it’s free(!) for you too. Come check it out!
So, what do you think? Are you going to attend the conference next month? If not, why not? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
