The Sedona Principles, crafted by some of the nation’s finest lawyers, consultants, academics, and judges, are the widely cited rules designed specifically to bring order to the chaos that has characterized electronic discovery.

The Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure addressing electronic data are more than a year away from enactment. Yet, each day, lawyers in both trial practices and corporate counsel offices grapple with the complexities that even the simplest document request can pose, now that the majority of business records are maintained electronically. What resource is available to provide guidance and a move towards predictability, in the interim before the new Rules are finalized?

Pike & Fischer is pleased to present the 2007 annotated edition of The Sedona Principles. Crafted by some of the nation's finest lawyers, consultants, academics, and judges under the auspices of the highly regarded Sedona Conference®, The Sedona Principles: Best Practices, Recommendations & Principles for Addressing Electronic Document Production was the first formal attempt to provide a common approach for managing discovery practice as it changes with technology. The first annotated version, published in 2004, quickly became the “must-have” resource for both the bench and the bar.

E-discovery’s evolution in the past year is chronicled in our new publication. The 2007 Annotated Edition not only explains the policy underlying the 14 Principles that state and federal judges continue to rely on to resolve contested discovery disputes, it also contains citations to and analysis of their latest orders and opinions – including the obscure and hard-to-find ones, in addition to those with higher profiles.
