Farewell to Robert Childress, the eDiscovery events organiser who knew everybody
I am very sorry to learn of the death of Robert Childress. I knew him as the founder of the Masters Conference, which introduced many people not merely to eDiscovery but to each other. Robert was wonderful at keeping in … Continue reading
Short eDiscovery updates to 13 October

Roundup of The Masters Conference 2010
“We have been travelling since we saw you last. We have been in America, entertaining the Americans whose need, let’s face it, is greater even than yours. Of course when we’re over there we say that the other way round” … Continue reading

London litigation support party coincides with eDisclosure Practice Direction launch
I believe that it was a coincidence that almost the entire UK litigation support industry gathered at the Larder in Clerkenwell on the evening before eDisclosure Practice Direction 31B passed into the rules. I do not mean that the presence … Continue reading
Turning e-discovery news and views into a community of interest
Those of us who work in e-discovery / e-disclosure get better and better at passing information and views between ourselves. Web sites, blogs and Twitter allow us to keep up with developments – new products, company news and cases – … Continue reading

US-UK discovery differences on video at the Masters Conference
I have only just seen a set of short videos which His Honour Judge Simon Brown QC and I made at the Masters Conference last October in Washington. They were made by LegalQB and involved a proper studio with lighting … Continue reading

PivotalDiscovery e-Disclosure video with HHJ Simon Brown QC

The British invade Washington again, this time to talk and learn, not burn
To say that electronic discovery is international connotes more than the cross-border ramifications of multi-jurisdictional litigation. There is commonality in the problems, the rules and the solutions, to say nothing of the implications for law firms of new ways of … Continue reading

The UK is well-placed between the EU and the rest of the eDiscovery world
