This program ties in with the recent Section of Litigation’s publication of the multi-volume, second edition of Business and Commercial Litigation in Federal Courts. Our faculty will highlight some of the rapidly evolving issues in business litigation that were practically nonexistent when the first edition was published in 1998 such as e-discovery, litigation technology, techniques for streamlining and expediting litigation, case evaluation, and civility. Five of the 199 leading litigators and federal judges who wrote chapters will discuss key developments in their areas of practice: Barry Barnett, Michael Keating, Hon. Shira Scheindlin, Louis Solomon and David Boies The program will focus on the increasing importance of technology in commercial litigation, along with the efforts of courts and business clients to manage litigation more efficiently and proactively. Like the treatise, the program will provide litigation strategies and practical guidance.
