Registrations are pouring in for the Judges session.  RSVP now to reserve your seat!


EMC SourceOne eDiscovery – Kazeon announces groundbreaking super session “The Ten eDiscovery Commandments: The Judges Speak” with noted guest speakers The Honorable Andrew J.

“During our first conversation, both Judges took the session topic absolutely seriously and I knew we had hit a nerve.  What litigator would miss an opportunity to learn what judge’s see as the do’s and don’ts of eDiscovery? That is certainly a competitive advantage I would want,” said Matthew Nelson, Esq., EMC eDiscovery expert. “This session will be one of a kind.”

As a sneak peak, Judge Peck will be asked to builded on his prior opinion which was well articulated in the article, “Judge Issues a “Wake-Up Call” to New York Lawyers: When It Comes to Search Terms, Play Nice and Plan Ahead” written Jennifer H. Rearden and Farrah Pepper of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.

“Farrah Pepper and Jennifer Rearden’s aforementioned article is a great launch point for this discussion. Judge Maas and Judge Peck perspectives on eDiscovery legal developments over the last year are likely to set the tone for all future litigation,” J. David Morris, EMC eDiscovery.

Discover the process of e-discovery and put good practices in place.

Electronic information involved in a lawsuit requires a completely different process for management and archiving than paper information.

You’ll learn the various risks and best practices for a company that is facing litigation and you’ll see how to develop an e-discovery strategy if a company does not already have one in place.

Taking a strategic look at how best to manage Electronic Stored Information in a proactive, cost-effective and efficient manner, the goal of the event is to provide the necessary tools to make eDiscovery a normal business function rather than a “catastrophic” event.
