Announcing 2021 E-Discovery Conference
This year, the E-Discovery Conference at the University of Florida Levin College of Law was postponed due to Covid-19. The program is run by Professor William “Bill” Hamilton, with whom I served on The Florida Bar Civil Rules Committee that wrote the Electronically Stored Information (ESI) amendments, as well as on the faculty of Florida's Advanced Judicial College, where we taught judges how to implement the rules in cases. I have spoken at UF Law's Institute for Dispute Resolution and produced webinars in conjunction with them, as well. Because the vaccine rollout has only just begun and due to the uncertainty of in-person gatherings, the conference is to be virtual next spring. At the moment, a save the date states it will be held on Thursday, March 18, 2021. The conference is free, virtual, and open to all. The agenda will include a great judicial panel, a hot-topics case law panel, some software demonstrations, and tons of how-to e-discovery tips and advice. See you in March online!
