Computer Forensics Expert: The Sedona Conference Proclamation: December, 2014
Sedona Conference published the third edition of the "The Sedona Conference Cooperation Proclamation: Resources for the Judiciary."
The third edition updates case law and court rules and makes references to secondary sources. There are new sections, including a section on judicial ethics. This section specifically addresses whether a judge should 'friend' or 'connect' with an attorney on social media or engage in Internet research.
The burden of producing electronic evidence has been increasing. The Sedona Conference (TSC) proclamations are intended to provide state and federal judges with a framework for managing civil cases involving electronic evidence.
Previous editions of the Proclamation where published in November 2012 and in August of 2011.
Based in Phoenix, Az., TSC was founded in 1997 by Richard G. Braman. The website states TSC is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) research and educational institute dedicated to the advanced study of law and policy in the areas of antitrust law, complex litigation, and intellectual property rights. The mission of TSC is to drive the reasoned and just advancement of law and policy by stimulating ongoing dialogue amongst leaders of the bench and bar to achieve consensus on tipping point issues. TSC brings together the brightest minds in a dialogue based, think-tank setting with the goal of creating practical solutions and recommendations of immediate benefit to the bench and bar.
TSC is funded primarily by its operations, the financial support of its members, conference registrants, and sponsors.
This is the Public Comment Version of the Proclamation, comments, critiques and contributions are welcome.
