Duke University School of Law and its Duke Law Center for Judicial Studies, home of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), hosted a two-day conference on September 8 and 9 outside Washington, DC, to discuss the past, present, and future of technology-assisted review (TAR).
Technology Assisted Review Best Practices featured federal judges, law professors, and practitioners, discussing areas ranging from the definition of TAR; when, where, and how it is—and should be—used; the debate over transparency and cooperation in TAR; the differences in how the defense and plaintiff bars use it; and efforts at establishing a best practices protocol for TAR.
As we do with the profession’s major conferences, including Relativity Fest coming up on October 22-25, we live-tweeted the Duke Law TAR conference, but with a different approach. To encourage frank discussion at the conference, Duke instituted Chatham House Rules, where we may report the information—but we cannot identify speakers.
