eDiscovery is a “Swiss army knife” and, in their latest post, Cimplifi discusses several important considerations for arbitration you need to know!
Their post (Why Use a Hammer When You Can Use a Swiss Army Knife?: Considerations for Arbitration, available here) reminds us that over half of 410 respondents (50.5%) in the eDiscovery Today 2023 State of the Industry Report said they apply eDiscovery technology and workflows to arbitrations.
How does eDiscovery for arbitrations differ from eDiscovery for litigation? One way is through the forums in which arbitration is conducted. There are several reputable arbitration forums that provide a standardized approach to conducting arbitration. The three used most in the U.S. are:
- American Arbitration Association (AAA): A not-for-profit organization focused on the field of alternative dispute resolution founded in 1926.
- JAMS: JAMS was originally founded in 1979 as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., but now is simply known as “JAMS”.
- International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR): An independent nonprofit organization that helps prevent and resolve legal conflict more effectively and efficiently that was founded in 1977.
So, what is the scope of eDiscovery for each arbitration forum? And what are three uses of eDiscovery technology in arbitration? Check out their article here to find out more important considerations for arbitration. It’s only one more click! 😉 Arbitration may be the one of the least discussed use cases for eDiscovery technology and workflows, but it’s still important to have a plan for applying eDiscovery to disputes in arbitration!
