LegalTech West Coast Keynote Panel to Focus on Ethics and E-Discovery Issues

A panel of four noted e-discovery experts, including two United States Magistrate judges, will discuss a wide range of practical ethical issues related to today’s e-discovery environment in a keynote address at Incisive Media's upcoming LegalTech West Coast conference. LegalTech West Coast 2009, the region’s largest and most prestigious legal technology conference and trade show, will take place June 24-25 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Complete conference information is available at www.legaltechshow.com.

The keynote will take place at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 25th. This session is open to all attendees and has been approved for one free ethics CLE credit.

Moderated by Carole Basri, author, adjunct professor, consultant and former practicing attorney, the panel will feature Thomas Allman, a former general counsel and corporate litigator, and currently co-chair of the Sedona Conference working group on E-discovery; the Honorable Andrew Peck, United States Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of New York; and the Honorable David Waxse, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Kansas. Both judges have handed down numerous key decisions involving e-discovery, influencing today's standards for both ethical and practical e-discovery practices, while Allman is known for his extensive writing on these topics.

"With rules changing and technology evolving, attorneys and corporations need to think about e-discovery from a different point of view," said Judge Peck. "Attendees will come away from this panel with a better understanding of working with both sides and the judge to have a transparent and ethical process for e-discovery on any case."
