Farewell to the noughties

Is change constant? Perhaps only when it comes to changing to a new year, a new calendar. Should I look back to the noughties years (2000s) or even well before the noughties years? I guess it won’t make any sense to compare or contrast past year’s events or developments especially when it comes to talking [...]

Two different approaches to privacy

Since I can’t tweet I will use my blog to post. Research into trust model(s) in the cloud and a new credit privacy rule (still in draft according to the report) in China.

An example of a Piecemeal Approach – Personal Information Protection

I remembered doing a bit of research into the Constitution of the P.R.C. (for my Data Protection LLM module) back in 2003. I wondered what my synthesis would be now. Has the P.R.C. legal landscape changed over the past six years? A Chinese lawyer friend visited me (as I will be leaving town soon – [...]

exchange of information tackle as e-justice – EU

Done in Brussels, 10 July 2009. The new EU programme for the next five years in the area of freedom, security and justice – the so called Stockholm programme, is due to be adopted by the European Council in December 2009 is available at the EDPS site. …

E-discovery waves headed/heading East?

I just found this E-Discovery and Digital Forensics GEC conference via my search radar. Is this a good indicator that the e-discovery waves have reached the shores of Asia? I am sure there are other Asian regional and local meetings and conferences on e-discovery being hosted amongst other annual conferences and events. Perhaps soon there [...]

At what price is ‘Access To Justice’?

At what price is ‘Access To Justice’?  Taming e-disclosure via costs management by the court? When parties are in disputes, do they think about the costs of getting their differences resolve? If they do they will think twice before going to court and/or litigate. Thinking about the costs associated with civil litigation is further aggravated [...]

e-lessons learned blog

I came across a blog from twitters which I find rather interesting. Nowadays, there’re so many blogs on ediscovery and most of them seem to repeat or rehash what have been blogged or reported elsewhere. The e-lessons learned blog is refreshing and worth keeping an eye on.The current posts examined the Zubulake cases from different [...]

Hob nobbing, guanxi and not hot tubbing

Recently, I was at two events (ADR related) and both required me to note my carbon footprint. My first event was ‘Resolving Business Disputes in Today’s China’ in New York City (organised by the JurisConference). It was a great event, great lunch and interesting lunch debate. Although the event has nothing to do with edisclosure/ediscovery, [...]

Just to name a few keywords…including gangs and guns

Keywords: Digital evidence, digital forensics, data forensics, investigative work, security breaches (& privacy and data breaches?), information assurance and law. The Association of Digital Forensics Security and Law (ADFSL) fourth annual conference will be held in Burlington, Vermont, USA on May 20-22, 2009. The conference description has many keywords and touches on a wide variety [...]

The Sedona Conference ® welcomes your voices and/or see you in Barcelona in June

Something tapa’ing in Barcelona from 8th June…well two great events to entice me (and hopefully you too!), one coming from The Sedona Conference® and the other from the DESI folks. If you’re into ediscovery/edisclosure stuff you will have heard of The Sedona Conference®. For those who have not heard of DESI, (I posted about DESI [...]
