Today we turn to a topic that interests many readers, at least based on the amount of email we receive about it: legal recruiting and placement. Some of the questions we wanted answered:

Welcome to this site's newest feature: the Above the Law Roundtable. In the weeks and months ahead, we'll put together different panels focused on issues of interest to the ATL community, featuring experts to offer in-depth discussion of the selected subject.

One of the hottest topics in today's litigation and regulatory climate is electronic discovery. To discuss current issues in the field, we convened the following panel of eDiscovery experts:

Steve Stein, VP of eDiscovery Consulting, Electronic Evidence Discovery, Inc.

Courtney Barton, VP of Industry Relations, Applied Discovery

Ron Hedges, Counsel, Business Litigation Practice Group, Nixon Peabody

Deb Logan, VP and Distinguished Analyst, Gartner

George Marinos, Managing Director, Huron Consulting Group

Steve Whetstone, VP, Client Development and Strategy, Stratify

The conversation covered a variety of critical issues. Panelists discussed the relatively new federal rules on e-discovery, as well as recent developments in the case law; what steps corporations and law firms can take to prepare themselves for the revolution in e-discovery, including tools and technologies available for managing electronic data; and what the future holds for the field of e-discovery.

We think that those of you who work in the area of electronic discovery will find this roundtable very interesting and informative. To download a free transcript of the discussion, just click on the link below.
