CEIC 2008 - International eDiscovery

Posted on DateMay 1, 2008

On 29 April 2008, I was pleased to present on the topic of International eDiscovery at the Computer and Enterprise Investigations Conference (CEIC), held in picturesque Lake Las Vegas.

The majority of attendees at the session (forming part of the eDiscovery Track) which filled the Agadir Theatre at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort were American with an equal mix of practising litigation attorneys, corporate legal counsel, eDiscovery managers and computer forensic practitioners.

The session endeavoured to present an international comparative of electronic discovery practice and procedure, with a focus on cross-border and multi-jurisdictional discovery.

    What is the relevance to UK solicitors of a presentation on International Discovery delivered recently by an Australian in Las Vegas?

    by Shannon Capone Kirk, Emily Cobb and Michael Robott at The National Law Journal on December 22, 2008
    One of the most challenging aspects of electronic discovery arises when U.S. litigation crosses borders into European Union countries with strong privacy laws. Ten years ago, these challenges seemed nonexistent; today, litigators face increasing roadblocks to e-discovery based on foreign privacy laws.

    "When should American litigators care about a judgment of the French Cour de Cassation (Supreme Court) requiring a French lawyer to pay a 10,000 euro fine? When that decision may shake up the conventional wisdom about what discovery may be obtained from French (and perhaps other foreign) parties and nonparties."

Chris Dale's blog highlighted this post today and I immediately came to read it. I think the presentation you gave in Vegas is excellent. It is very clear and informative and should reach as wide an audience as possible. In particular, your message about the differences between US litigation and the rest of the world is one that should be taken to every US school, college, law firm and corporation!
