The Sedona Conference has published a second edition of its iconic The Sedona Principles: Best Practices Recommendations & Principles for Addressing Electronic Document Production (June 2007), which is available via download at http://www.thesedonaconference.org/. The Sedona Conference is a nonprofit group, created in 1997, to tackle complex legal (primarily litigation) issues.
The latest update is a product of Sedona Conference's Working Group One, an informal, "minithink tank" established in 2002 to provide a forum for jurists, lawyers, experts, and academics to address emerging problems and "best practices" in e-discovery. From an initial membership of about 20, WG1's roster has grown to several hundred members, including consultant Craig Ball (author of LTN's Ball in Your Court column); Ariana Tadler, a partner at Milberg Weiss; and Jonathan Redgrave, of Redgrave Daley Ragan & Wagner, among others. I am a founding member of WG1 and served as one of the editors of the update.
The original 2004 version of The Sedona Principles established 14 e-discovery "principles." The revision reflects the ramifications of the 2006 EDD amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and attempts to address the rule changes without compromising the perspective of the original document's authors.
