I noticed the use of the terms ‘E-Discovery’ and ‘Electronic Disclosure’ and ‘Information Exchange’ for the May Conference in the Hague. See the programme listed at The University of Texas at Austin School of Law.
Yes! E-Discovery and E-Disclosure or Information Exchange or handling electronic data or digital evidence are getting their footprints at the beautiful Peace Palace in the Hague. Thumbs up to the organisers ! I will be going. I have been to the Peace Palace (invited by a lawyer friend who gave a lecture there couple of years ago) and look forward to seeing the place again.
For my own reference, here are some of the topics spread over two days.
- E-Discovery: A Look Behind the Curtain—Tools and Techniques
- The Present and Future of Electronic Disclosure in International Arbitration
- Evolving Principles of Information Exchange:Consensus and Divergence
- Cross-Cultural Problems Involving Exchange of Information
- Privilege and Ethical Obligations Involving Production and Protection of Evidence
- Expert Evidence in International Arbitration:Are Standards Needed?
