CEIC 2008 - International eDiscovery
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.

"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." -
"International eDiscovery adds an extra layer of complexity to the handling of electronically stored information (ESI). Privacy regulations, restrictions on the collection and transfer of information present unique challenges."
