Discovery is the longest and most costly phase of any litigation. Since the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure made e-discovery a permanent fixture in litigation, attorneys have struggled with whether and how electronic discovery fits into the arbitration process, and there are no specific rules to offer guidance. In recent years, however, counsel has attempted to introduce e-discovery practices into arbitration. During this one-hour CLE webinar, panelists identify unique issues confronting arbitrators and arbitration counsel in dealing with electronically stored information (ESI). The panel will offer best practices for counsel making e-discovery requests during the arbitration process and for arbitrators considering e-discovery requests.
