I just came across this post from Bill Hamilton with The Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists.

In our experience at C2, most counsel are overwhelmingly unprepared for the Rule 26(f) conference.  With the tools available today, I highly recommend Clearwell (of course), preparing for the ‘Meet and Confer’ is easier than ever.  Most of the “7 Deadly Sins” mentioned in this article can be avoided by engaging the right consultants and using the right tools.

In the ESI world, you can never be “Too Prepared”.
