The ABA’s Annual National Institute on E-Discovery gathers e-discovery lawyers, judges, consultants and in-house counsels to consider the latest developments and strategies for managing the e-discovery process. This year’s institute will provide practical guidance for navigating cutting-edge e-discovery issues in civil litigation, such as discovery of cloud data, blockchain as evidence, ephemeral messaging, early discovery pilot programs, ethical obligations in discovery and more.
