“Bringing eDiscovery In-House for Dummies: In-sourcing, Outsourcing and eDiscovery Zen”
With the original author of “Bringing eDiscovery In-House for Dummies”, Jake Frazier, MBA, Esq., leading the LegalTech session on “Bringing eDiscovery In-House for Dummies: In-sourcing, Outsourcing and eDiscovery Zen”, which built and expanded on the original text to discuss new developments and trends in In-House eDiscovery practices. Panelists included David C.

eDiscovery War Stories
“eDiscovery War Stories: The Dirty Truth from the eDiscovery Trenches” was moderated by James D. Shook, Esq., of EMC expert eDiscovery team. The panelists were Steven Teppler from Edelson McGuire; Jeff Seymour from Deloitte; and EMC’s own Matt Nelson.

The plan was to talk about what really happens in eDiscovery — how shortcuts are sometimes taken, lawyers and IT people miscommunicate, repositories get missed and even good plans go awry — basically that stuff happens. The panelist wanted to get these stories out in the open, have input from the audience and discuss why sometimes eDiscovery projects do not go as planned — and learn what can be done better.

In reality, our audience was extremely engaged and active, and we followed their lead. We covered about 25% of our planned material. One of our key points was discussing the frequent disconnect between Legal and IT, and how important it is for these two groups to communicate well to insure successful eDiscovery processes. An audience member thanked James and the other panelists for the best session of the day, saying that for her, the depth of detail and knowledge provided by our panelists was ideal.

In one final twist of irony, the best war story came not from a panelist, but from an audience member!

“The Future of eDiscovery: Emerging Trends in Law and Technology and How it will Impact your Business”

With eDiscovery pioneers and special guest Robert D. Owen from Fulbright & Jaworski, Farrah Pepper from Gibson, Dunn, & Crutcher, George Socha, Esq., and Andrew M. Cohen, Esq., from EMC, Jake Frazier, MBA, Esq., was in top form to moderate the noted panel. The session discussed the law, recent cases and rulings, as well as how new technology has impacted the business and law surrounding eDiscovery. One attendee characterized it session as “powerful and insightful.”

eDiscovery StraightTalk
A topic of discussion at LegalTech was Judge Scheindlin recent opinion. Kazeon delivers insoght into her opinion in our blog eDiscovery StraightTalk with James D. Shook, Esq., entitled “New Decision Orders Sanctions… But Provides Strong Guidance.” The article discusses the very recent decision by Judge Scheindlin in the Pension Committee vs. Banc of America Securities et. al case. Her decision provides the eDiscovery community with some clear guidance on appropriate litigation hold and collection procedures, as well as a framework for determining when sanctions are appropriate and the level of those sanctions. Read more in Mr. Shook’s explanation of the decision in his blog post for the Kazeon blog…Discover.

Bringing eDiscovery in-house
The buzz of the show was the topic of bringing eDiscovery in-house, which attendees were very interested in discussing with EMC Kazeon executives. Although several vendors, including ECM have been championing in-house eDiscovery for several years, the tipping point is happening now, says Kazeon in its blog. Kazeon says http://www.kazeon.com/blog/2010/02/emckazeon-at-legaltech-in-house-is-hot/: “The question customer should ask is ‘With all the sanctions and fines leveled by Judges in eDiscovery cases, can your company provide the support to deploy eDiscovery, manage the complexity of integrating into our data centers and provide process and legal best practices to support us before, during and potentially after ligation?’ If the answer to this question is anything less than an unequivocal YES then customers must think again about their provider.”

The big news….In-House eDiscovery.  Although several vendors like EMC have been championing In-House eDiscovery for several years, this year is when In-House eDiscovery has come into its own.  Why?  Well, there are numerous reasons…but let’s say it is at the tipping point.


In-House eDiscovery is being touted by every company at LegalTech.  The question customer should ask is “With all the sanctions and fines leveled by Judges in eDiscovery cases, can your company provide the support to deploy eDiscovery, manage the complexity of  integrating into our data centers and provide process and legal best practices to support us before, during and potentially after ligation?”  If the answer to this question is anything less than an “unequivocal YES”….then customers must think again about their provider.

Tomorrow is likely to be even a more chaotic day, as the West Coasters will be arriving today.  EMC start tomorrow with a day of Super Sessions which have been the talk of the conference today….see our super session flyer below.

“eDiscovery and Information Governance are company-wide initiatives that touch every part of a business twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week,” says William D.
