Here’s a Webinar That Promises to Be Proportional: eDiscovery Webinars

The 2015 amendments to the FRCP elevated the importance of proportionality in eDiscovery, but has it lived up to its intended purpose?  Here’s a webinar where you’ll learn about the past, present, and future potential of leveraging proportionality, both in practice and in the courtroom.

On February 17th, ACEDS will host the webinar The Potential Promise of Proportionality: Platitude or Progress? at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT).  In this webinar, you’ll gain insight into:

  • The judicial perspective on proportionality and what is expected from practitioners
  • The interplay with early scoping and assessment, data minimization and targeting, and privacy requirements
  • How to leverage proportionality to maximize future results

This webinar has something for everyone interested in making discovery more proportional – not to mention fans of alliteration!  😉  And, I’m excited to be participating in this panel with four experts on the topic of discovery and proportionality, including Judge Christopher P. Yates, 17th Circuit Court Judge, Specialized Business Docket, Michigan; Jonathan Wilan, Partner, Baker McKenzie LLP; Martin Tully, Founding Partner, Actuate Law, LLC and Mandi Ross, CEO, Prism Litigation Technology and Insight Optix LLC.

So, what do you think?  Are you interested in learning better ways to make discovery proportional to the case?  If so, please join us!  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
