The 13th Annual Judicial Panel

With a theme of "Preservation, Proportionality, Privilege, and Prompts," the 13th Annual Judicial Panel addressed issues ranging from traditional e-discovery to modern legal data intelligence with AI.

Watch the session, recorded during RelFest Chicago 2026, to learn:

• Have advancements in enterprise technology made disaster recovery a non-issue or does global uncertainty make it more important than ever?
• Have technological advances made complying with data preservation obligations easier or has the veritable cornucopia of data sources made preservation an even bigger challenge?
• When does an obligation to preserve data run afoul of Rule 26's mandate to keep discovery proportional to the needs of the case?
• When does the attorney-client privilege or the protections of the work product doctrine apply to AI prompts – or do they even apply at all?
