Leading jurists, practitioners and e-Discovery experts gather for unique program.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 25, 2016) – iDiscovery Solutions, Inc. (iDS), an award-winning, legal technology and information governance expert services firm, announced today that CEO Dan Regard will participate as a technical advisor and mock expert witness in The Sedona Conference Institute’s eDiscovery Negotiation Training. The sessions take place March 1-2 at the Washington, D.C. offices of Sidley Austin. In this pre-trial legal skills program, participants will learn to negotiate effectively with opposing counsel to ensure cost-effective fact finding and avoid unnecessary disputes, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and the rules of professional conduct.
Through use of a litigation hypothetical and mock exercises, attendees will explore practical cooperative strategies to avoid or resolve conflicts that commonly occur in the preservation, collection, production and use of electronically stored information (ESI). They will learn how to conduct meet-and-confers, motion practice and arguments on standard and cutting edge e-Discovery issues in front of current and retired judges. The faculty of veteran trial lawyers, e-Discovery experts, and judges will provide constructive feedback on the attendees’ performance.
Mr. Regard is a nationally recognized electronic evidence and case management expert with more than 20 years’ experience consulting to legal and corporate entities. He provides subject matter expertise on e-Discovery, computer forensics and data analytics and has testified in numerous high-profile cases. He has also served as a court-appointed neutral. Mr. Regard is an active participant in The Sedona Conference’s WG1 (Electronic Document Retention and Production) and WG6 (International Electronic Information Management, Discovery and Disclosure) and participated in the creation of the Duke Guidelines for the recent FRCP amendments. Mr. Regard is an Advisory Board Member of Georgetown Law’s Advanced eDiscovery Institute.
“Sedona is the foremost group for e-Discovery thought leadership and training,” said Mr. Regard. “It is an honor to be working with them in this unique format, with head-to-head negotiations on core discovery issues. The program combines Sedona-quality teaching with hands-on practice and review of civil procedure events in an e-Discovery litigation. This should be part of every law firm’s educational roadmap.”
