Conference program full of invaluable knowledge on crucial, risky issues
In addition to cutting-edge panels on predictive coding, lawyer e-discovery malpractice, and proper management of social media, the ACEDS conference will also provide expert training and tips on vexing subjects like:
•   How to manage contract lawyers and document reviews effectively and efficiently
•   How to use special masters to resolve vexing e-discovery problems
•   How to deal effectively with varying norms, languages and custodians in international cases
•   How to buy e-discovery products effectively and economically
•   How to avoid getting stuck with your opponent’s big e-discovery bills

New panel on imminent Florida e-discovery state rules
Because the Florida Supreme Court will soon issue new e-discovery state rules, ACEDS has added a special panel on this major development and is bringing Tampa attorney Kevin Johnson, Chairman of the Florida Bar rules committee that crafted the new rule, and past chair, Orlando lawyer Lawrence Kolin, to speak.
