| The mission of the Electronic Discovery Committee is to contribute
pro-actively to the rapidly advancing development of e-discovery law and
practice by:
a) raising awareness among practitioners
and members of the judiciary, through publications and seminars, about
the evolving legal and technical environment that is making e-discovery
such a critical part of contemporary litigation;
b) considering, analyzing and reporting
on major rulemaking initiatives in the field, including for example the
recent proposed modifications to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
targeting e-discovery; and,
c) providing a resource to help lawyers
and judges obtain up to date and comprehensive information about
e-discovery.
The Electronic Discovery Committee is co-chaired
by Constance M. Boland, Nixon Peabody LLP, New York City and Adam
I. Cohen, Principal, Ernst & Young, New York City.
