Legal Commentary

I'm headed to D.C. to participate in the 7th annual Advanced E-Discovery Institute, Thursday and Friday at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City in Arlington, Va., which has a reputation of drawing the creme de la creme of the magistrate judge crowd. We are all looking forward to hearing from the authors of so many opinions that have obsessed us during the last year.

Among the jurists on the panels are John Facciola, James Rosenbaum, John Carroll, Lee Rosenthal, Francis Allegra, Shira Scheindlin, James Francis, Paul Grimm, Elizabeth LaPorte, Nan Nolan, Andrew Peck, and Joseph Slights. Doesn't get any better than that.

I'm speaking today at 1:30 p.m., on "The Business of E-Discovery," with Robert Eisenberg (Precise), Mark Michels (Cisco), Robert Owen (Fulbright & Jaworsky), and moderated by attorney Jonathan Redgrave. Based on our voluminous correspondence and several conference calls, these guys know their stuff.

The conference is sold-out, but they are maintaining a waiting list if you are interested in attending.
