The Sedona Conference - Working Group 7

The mission of Working Group 7 is to create forward-looking principles and best practice recommendations for lawyers, courts, businesses, and others who regularly confront e-discovery issues in Canada. The Sedona Canada Principles was released in early 2008 (in both English and French) and was immediately recognized by federal and provincial courts as an authoritative source of guidance for Canadian practitioners. It was explicitly referenced in the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure and practice directives that went into effect in January 2010. The second edition of The Sedona Canada Principles was published in 2015. Working Group 7 provides materials and speakers for The Sedona Conference InstituteSM program and bar association conferences across the country.
