Perhaps the most often cited e-discovery document—from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure amendments to cases from New York to California—is “The Sedona Principles,” a wide-ranging publication from the group of e-discovery experts at The Sedona Conference. The document ranges from entry-level topics (“What is electronic discovery?”) to the specific (reasonable and good faith efforts for the obligation to preserve electronically stored information).
There’s just one problem: The last full version of the document, version 2, was released in 2007. But now, following four years of work from The Sedona Conference Working Group 1 (WG1), the organization is releasing version 3 of The Sedona Principles for public comment.
