The Sedona Conference and its Working Group 1 on Electronic Document Retention and Production (WG1) are delighted to announce the publication of the Public Comment Version of The Sedona Conference Primer on Managing Electronic Discovery in Small Cases.
The Primer, available here for free download, offers best practices and practical guidance tailored to cases involving smaller quantities or less complex varieties of electronically stored information (ESI) or in which the smaller stakes involved significantly limit the time and money that can and should be spent on electronic discovery. While some of the guidance may diverge from what The Sedona Conference recommends for larger, complex cases, the Primer reinforces the central role of cooperation between the parties in effectively and efficiently managing discovery in small cases. The Sedona Conference Primer on Managing Electronic Discovery in Small Cases is open for public comment through February 12, 2023. Questions and comments should be sent in writing to comments@sedonaconference.org. The drafting team will carefully consider all comments received and determine what edits are appropriate for the final version. And please keep an eye out for an announcement of an upcoming Sedona Conference webinar on the Primer, to be held in January. Members of the drafting team will provide key takeaways from the publication and solicit feedback and questions.
