The Sedona Conference, a nonprofit law and policy think tank based in Phoenix, Ariz., has updated its reference manual for judges who are handling electronic data discovery and addressing the requirements that parties in litigation actually cooperate with each other. The original version of The Sedona Conference Cooperation Proclamation: Resources for the Judiciary was released in August 2011, the new edition’s author team was led by senior editors Ronald Hedges and Kenneth Withers. Hedges is a retired magistrate judge from the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, now a consultant; Withers, an attorney, is Sedona’s director of judicial education. Karen Van Allen served as editorial coordinator.
The guidebook offers a review of existing e-discovery literature, general recommendations, and then details the 20 “stages of litigation from a judge’s perspective,” starting with preservation and running all the way through to post-judgment costs. The free publication will be available shortly on the organization’s website, www.thesedonaconference.org. It is one of the organization’s many manifestos, which address its key terrains: antitrust, complex litigation, e-discovery, intellectual property and international matters.
