Exterro Inc. held a live e-discovery webcast Wednesday on the topic du jour, or should we say, du année: the pending amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure regarding electronic data discovery that were just green-lighted by the Judicial Conferences’ Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure.

The presentation featured three federal judges: Magistrate Judge James Francis of the Southern District of New York, Judge Paul Grimm of Maryland and Chief Magistrate Judge John Ott of the Northern District of Alabama. Scott Giordano, corporate technology counsel at Exterro, moderated the presentation (which offered continuing legal education credits in several states).
