The mission of the Electronic Discovery Committee is to contribute pro-actively
to the rapidly advancing development of e-discovery law and practice by:
- raising awareness among practitioners and members
of the judiciary, through publications and seminars, about the evolving legal
and technical environment that is making e-discovery such a critical part of
contemporary litigation;
- considering, analyzing and reporting on major
rule-making initiatives in the field, including for example the recent proposed
modifications to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure targeting e-discovery;
and,
- providing a resource to help lawyers and judges
obtain up to date and comprehensive information about e-discovery.
The Electronic Discovery Committee is co-chaired by Michael L. Fox, Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY and Maura R. Grossman, Maura Grossman Law, Waterloo, ON Canada
