conferences, seminars, workshops & other organised events on ediscovery/edisclosure in international arbitration

Since my conclusion back in December 2007

I’ve just re-read the conclusion in my research paper published here. In the litigation arena, I have found that there are many more blogs on various aspects of ediscovery coming from the US and still hardly any blogs from elsewhere. Worldwide searching/linking is still lopsided when it comes to online knowledge and information distribution. Perhaps [...]

My first publication

In the past, I’ve written lots of system/software documentation/specification and project plans etc. but today I really feel a different sense of achievement. My article “Electronic Discovery/Disclosure: From Litigation to International Commercial Arbitration” appeared in The International Journal of Arbitration, Mediation and Dispute Management, V 74, N 4, Nov 2008 (The Arbitration Journal by the [...]

An insight into what could emerge from even a ‘spillover’ event ran loosely based on the Open Space Technology (OST).

The ‘spillover’ event is the BCS BarCamp5 Spillover held on Saturday 28th September at the BCS Office in London. I was notified of the BarCamp event just two days before the planned event. Before the actual day, it seems to be a momentous event for the BCS as reported in the BCS blog. Having attended [...]

A Conference for ‘up & coming’ arbitration practitioners – Establishing Your Case in International Arbitration

No E-Documentation or edisclosure mentioned on this ICC UK / CIArb joint conference. Perhaps the ICC UK and CIArb do not wish to remind those wishing to refresh their knowledge of evidence and legal submissions on the ‘growing issue as a result of the electronic exchanges of documents between parties’. Surely the ‘growing issue…’ as [...]

My comments are posted under New York The Second Annual Electronic Evidence and Disclosure in International Arbitration will be held in London on 2nd October.

Alert! The International Journal of Arbitration, Mediation and Dispute Management

I am rather pleased to announce that the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) will publish my condensed dissertation, titled : Electronic Discovery/Disclosure: From Litigation to International Commercial Arbitration  in The International Journal of Arbitration, Mediation and Dispute Management, Sweet & Maxwell, Volume 74 Number 4 November 2008. When I started on my research back in October [...]

Hot off the e-mail Press!

I received an invite today to register for the 2nd annual electronic evidence and e-discovery forum. I attended the 1st Forum last year and the focus then was mostly related to forensic stuff and presentations from top notch e-discovery vendors offering solutions/services based on the edrm. Judging by the agenda, a mixed bag of themes [...]

According to the speakers/presenters from the legal world, the challenges are explored by themes which are; Implications of the latest electronic disclosure developments Minimising costs associated with eDisclosure [...]

Is edisclosure on the ICCA published agenda?

Since completion of my dissertation, I have not been actively searching for legal articles or news. I do know that in the arbitration world, there is an event coming up in June in Dublin. The International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA), founded in 1961, is the leading world-wide organization devoted to promoting international arbitration and [...]

US and UK/EU Legal & Compliance “Hot Topics”

It doesn’t look like ediscovery is under the “Hot Topics”. Maybe ‘ediscovery’ is too hot to handle. The topics listed under the programme, such as recording, securing and accessing client communications are mostly to do with Know Your Customer (KYC). It would be interesting to hear the recent lessons from the compliance officers and also [...]
