The 10th annual Georgetown Law Advanced E-Discovery Institute kicked off the two-day event with judges. And not just any judges, but two of the most visible jurists on the U.S. District Court: Judge Shira Scheindlin, of the Southern District of New York, and Magistrate Judge John Facciola, of the District of Columbia. The two were joined by D.C. lawyers William Butterfield, a partner at Hausfeld, and Jonathan Redgrave, of his self-named firm, and a video cameo appearance by Richard Braman, executive director emeritus of The Sedona Conference.
The five panelists tackled a topic that could have easily been a snoozer for the Georgetown cult; the event consistently draws the sophisticated cream of the electronic data discovery crowd. But “Ten Years After—Where We Have Been and Where We Are Going” proved to be a vibrant discussion, even if there were not a whole lot of surprises. Tweeted attendee Gilbert “Gil” Keteltas of Baker & Hostetler, “I love the smell of advanced e-discovery in the morning,” as the discussion started.
