Critical Concepts of Competence and Cooperation in the Electronic Discovery (EDD) Process. [Top]

John M. Facciola United States Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia

Room: West Grand Ballroom

In this keynote address, United States Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola will discuss the critical concepts of competence and cooperation in the electronic discovery (EDD) process. Judge Facciola will review the history of the new amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which were intended to expand cooperation among the parties but which, in the absence of competence, can yield precisely the opposite: a widening gulf between parties who understand EDD and those who do not.

In his discussion, Judge Facciola will consider these topics:

• Enforcing the standards of competence;
• Managing "asymmetrical" litigation, in which one side has a distinct advantage through its understanding of EDD;
• Leveraging experts and special masters;
• Balancing the roles of in-house and external counsel; and
• Fostering cooperation and the future of EDD .

This keynote address promises insightful perspective from one of the bench's most knowledgeable experts on the evolving topic of EDD.

The markets are bad, revenues are down, organizations are being asked to do more with less. Addition by subtraction is the concept of adding capacity while reducing costs and lowering budgets and has become a core strategy for successfully getting through this business climate. What may come as a surprise is that fax is the perfect candidate.

The presentation will discuss how to recognize programs that are likely candidates for this shift, and through a case study presentation, provide an example of the potential cost savings possible in something as seemingly simple as faxing.
