Sedona Conference Glossary: E-Discovery

The Sedona Conference’s peer reviewed The Sedona Guidelines: Best Practice Guidelines & Commentary for Managing Information & Records in the Electronic Age addresses document management through the entire lifecycle. Of interest, it creates a safe harbor for companies with a legal hold policy and practice when an individual acts outside their authority or in contravention to the legal hold directive.

Special congratulations to a fine couple of fellows soon to make a major announcement which will change the legal landscape for conducting discovery.
