The family of U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer of the District of Colorado announced today that the pioneer for e-discovery in the judiciary passed away over the weekend, as reported by The Sedona Conference.

Shaffer had been a member of the federal bench since 2001. During that time, he was an active member of the e-discovery community, publishing a number of widely read articles on e-discovery topics and serving on the U.S. Judicial Conference’s Advisory Committee on Civil Rules since October 2014. He also was behind a number of key e-discovery rulings including Cache La Poudre Feed v. Land O’ Lakes, a 2007 case that analyzed the duty to monitor IT under Rule 26(g), and Western Convenience Stores v. Suncor Energy, a 2014 case that cited the Cooperation Proclamation in considering an award of costs incurred in responding to a Rule 45 subpoena.
