The panel will be moderated by Mollie Nichols of Redgrave LLP, and will also feature Ed Larkin of Edwards Wildman, Jessica Cullen Smith of McDermott Will & Emery, and Allison Stanton of the DOJ’s Civil Division.
The panel will discuss recent case law on the use of predictive coding. Through the discussion of U.S. cases such as Kleen Products, Global Aerospace, Gordon, Da Silva, and Estate of Robert H. Brooks, Inc., the panelists will cover issues such as proportionality, cooperation, and reasonableness.
“Predictive coding continues to be a source of both opportunity and confusion,” states Mr. Regard. “I look forward to participating in a lively discussion on the current legal trends in this area.”

Facciola’s keynote is entitled, “Predicting: The Future” and will take place from 12:30pm – 1:30pm ET. The welcome address will be by Geoffrey A. Vance of the host firm and the other sessions for the half-day event are “Predictive Coding Pessimists and Promoters” and “But I’m Not a Litigator: The Use of Data Analytics in Other Areas of the Organization.” Jason Baron of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, and former Director of Litigation for the National Archives and Records Administration, will moderate the latter panel.
