ACC Panel: Judicial Perspectives on Electronic Discovery

Guidance Software Guidance Software will be on hand at the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) 2010 Annual Meeting held October 24-27, 2010, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio.

Guidance Software President and Chief Executive Officer Victor Limongelli will host a panel on Tuesday, October 26. He will participate as part of the “Judicial Perspectives on Electronic Discovery” panel, which will bring together judicial thought leaders to share their views on the future of e-discovery practice as applicable to corporate law departments seeking to establish defensible in-house e-discovery processes.

Additional panel speakers include United States District Judge, Hon. Shira A. Scheindlin of the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, Chief Judge, Hon. Donald E. Shelton of the Washtenaw County Trial Court and U.S. Magistrate Judge, Hon. David J. Waxse of the United States District Court, District of Kansas.

The panel discussion will cover the Sedona Cooperation Proclamation, the impact of recent decisions and provide judicial perspectives on managing e-discovery, the protection offered by Rule 502 and sanctions for failure to meet e-discovery obligations.

The ground rules for electronic discovery are changing rapidly as forward thinking judges look both at the increasing importance of digital evidence to cases and also the new tools available to counsel. This panel will be invaluable to anyone who needs to know how these changes will impact on their cases.

The company will also showcase its recently announced EnCase® eDiscovery version 4, which offers new features that provide a unique approach to early case assessment (ECA) with pre-collection analytics that allow legal teams to query all of the data and get a better sense of how many responsive elements there are. From this, they can refine their search or sample the data so that they are better armed for their pre-trial conferences. Those interested in the new features can visit Guidance Software at booth 153 for more information.
