Ernst & Young and New Zealand-based eDiscovery Consulting are putting on the Managing eDiscovery in New Zealand Conference on 13 February 2013 in Auckland. The keynote speech is to be delivered by His Honour Judge David Harvey who is well known to those of us who  appreciate serious and relevant judicial thinking about the crossover between law and technology.

It crossed my mind to go to this conference – New Zealand is one of the few places whose civil procedure rules require electronic discovery of documents which I have yet to visit.   It now turns out that I must be in the US in the weeks each side of the NZ conference and cannot realistically spend most of the month in aeroplanes. That is a pity – I would like to be there.
