“David & Goliath: Helping Small Firm Litigators get the ESI They Need to Help Win Their Case”.

This session is designed to discuss “best practices” and key ESI strategies that small firm litigators can employ to help them get the ESI they need to help win their case.
This one-hour session will consist of a 30-minute presentation that outlines 6 key ‘battle-tested” strategies used by small firm litigators to help get the ESI they need to help win their case; followed by a 30-minute panel discussion of ESI-experienced litigators and federal judges.

-The Honorable Nora Barry Fischer, District Judge, U. S. Court, Western District of PA.
