The Sedona Conference and its Working Group 1 on Electronic Document Retention and Production (WG1) are delighted to announce the publication of the Post-Public-Comment Version of The Sedona Conference Primer on Managing Electronic Discovery in Small Cases.
The Primer, available here for free download, offers best practices and practical guidance tailored to cases involving smaller quantities or less complex varieties of electronically stored information (ESI) or in which the smaller stakes involved significantly limit the time and money that can and should be spent on electronic discovery. While some of the guidance may diverge from what The Sedona Conference recommends for larger, complex cases, the Primer reinforces the central role of cooperation between the parties in effectively and efficiently managing discovery in small cases. The Sedona Conference Primer on Managing Electronic Discovery in Small Cases was posted for public comment in December. The editors carefully considered all comments that were submitted and, where appropriate, incorporated them into this final version. |
