The Sedona Conference TAR Case Law Primer Webinar

The Sedona Conference's Working Group 1 has published a comprehensive review of court decisions addressing the use of Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) in civil discovery from 2012 through 2016. The Primer discusses more than 35 decisions from state, federal, and foreign courts and administrative agencies, touching on issues such as whether a responding party may use TAR over the objection of a requesting party, if and when a court can compel a party to use TAR, whether parties are required to disclose or negotiate TAR methodologies, and the relationship between TAR and traditional methods of document culling and review.

The Primer is the result of careful review and analysis by a diverse team of Working Group 1 members, was recently updated in response to public comment, and is designed to be an introduction and guide to the use of TAR in civil litigation and government investigations, without passing judgment on the efficacy of particular TAR applications or methodologies. The webinar is scheduled for 90 minutes, during which time attendees may text their questions to the panel, who will endeavor to address all that time allows.

The Sedona Conference does not apply for CLE accreditation for webinars, but registrants may submit documentation to their respective state CLE office for potential credit. The webinar is hosted by Kenneth J. Withers from The Sedona Conference, with Maura R. Grossman from the University of Waterloo serving as the moderator. Panelists include Maura R. Grossman and Kenneth J. Withers.
