Last
week the Litigation & Practice Support Peer Group held a webinar moderated
by Steve Clark of Lathrop & Gage in Kanas City SClark@lathropgage.com with panellists
Maureen Holland, Denise Talbert and Craig Ball (see below). With close to 200
live attendees at the session, it lived up to its description being lively,
thought provoking and educational. In case you missed it please find a blog
post by Craig Ball which was written after the Webinar.

An interesting extract from Craig's blog "When polled, roughly half of those attending stated that they weren’t making production in native and near-native forms simply because the requesting parties hadn’t sought same. Around 16% said they resisted native production out of concern that native productions were harder to track. My sense is that the attendees were open–even eager–to embrace native production. I wasn’t surprised by this because there are few audiences for e-discovery education as sophisticated and rational as ILTA audiences. ILTA members tend to be hands on with ESI, affording them a better appreciation of the downsides of image and load file productions..."
Session Summary
As native file productions have become more prevalent, the issues and
complexities surrounding this type of exchange have become a common topic. Join
our panellists as they discuss some of these issues and offer fresh
perspectives on approaching native file productions.
The session
will include a discussion of:
- The current state of native file
exchange, including views of practitioners and the courts
- Arguments for and against (and
perhaps some debunking of both)
- Practical issues and
considerations associated with native productions
- Thoughts on where the industry is
headed and how they see this evolving
