When originally conceived, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model provided a useful guide for approaching the identification, collection, and analysis of digital data—over time becoming the primary model for the ediscovery industry. However, the EDRM requires rethinking and expansion against the backdrop of ediscovery expanding beyond a litigation-only concept to a rigorous discipline; courts and government agencies applying greater scrutiny over data governance and security practices; and attorneys utilizing a more strategic, cross-matter approach to review. How should this model be updated? Is there a more appropriate model for an era of more complex communication, data, and business challenges? EJ Bastien, Director of Discovery Programs at Microsoft, Chris Dahl, Senior Vice President, Market Solutions Group, at Lighthouse, and guest speakers will discuss how data challenges and governance are transforming the way legal professionals should approach the EDRM, thinking beyond a linear and single matter approach to review, and the future of ediscovery.
