The hottest ticket last Thursday for the electronic data discovery community wasn’t for a hockey or basketball playoff, but an event at Sullivan & Cromwell’s waterfront offices in Manhattan. Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York joined his colleague, Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith, at the May meeting of the Women in E-Discovery (WiE) New York chapter to offer advice and insight on EDD best practices when before the judiciary.
Peck, the recipient of LTN‘s 2011 IT Champion of the Year for his advocacy of computer-aided coding (aka predictive coding), is currently adjudicating a closely watched case, Monique da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe and MSLGroup, where he took the unusual step of ordering the use of predictive coding in the matter. Subsequently, the plaintiffs asked that Peck recuse himself, and the e-discovery phase has now become vitriolic.
