The Legal Technology Leadership Summit: Be a Juror During EDI's Mock Hearing on Sanctions

By  
on

If you were aware of pending litigation, would you destroy backup tapes if you had no reason to believe that they contained data relevant to case? Would you need to retain such tapes in order to meet your litigation-related preservation obligations as an attorney?

During the Legal Technology Leadership Summit, a mock hearing will be held where a blue-ribbon panel will examine whether sanctions would be appropriate in a case like the one described above. Participants in the mock hearing will play the roles of plaintiffs and defense counsel as well as plaintiffs’ expert. Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV (S.D.N.Y.) will preside over the mock hearing.

At the conclusion of the hearing, panel members and the audience will vote via cell phone text messages on how they would have decided the case and why. Results will be shown live on screen as a prelude to what is sure to be a spirited discussion of how to meet a company’s preservation obligations without going broke or getting sanctioned in the interim.

The panel is part of an overall theme of the Summit of examining the true costs and risks of over-preservation and considering what the options are for resolving those issues.

The Summit will take place on September 6 – 8, in Amelia Island, Florida. If you are interested in being a part of the mock hearing, please sign up to attend the conference. You can also take a look at the full agenda for the event here.
