The Decade of Discovery is the story of a government attorney on a quest to find a better way to search White House e-mail, and a teacher who took a stand for civil justice on the electronic frontier -- and the attendant revolution in the way law is practiced and the government operates. The film charts their 10-year journey -- and the surprising truths --they found.

With this partnership, Bloomberg BNA, publisher of Digital Discovery and eEvidence, one of the first publications in the eDiscovery space, continues to raise awareness of the opportunities and challenges that law and technology pose. Many of the prominent attorneys and judges featured in this documentary will attend the complimentary cocktail receptions, film screenings, and panel discus­sions, where they will share their perspectives on the societal forces that shaped eDiscovery.

"This film is an eye-opener for litigators and in-house counsel who want to learn more about the root causes of a true paradigm shift in how law is practiced," said Carol L. Eoannou, managing editor of Bloomberg BNA's eDiscovery publications. "eDiscovery is a continually evolving area of law that requires practitioners to stay abreast of the latest legal decisions and trends and Bloomberg BNA offers comprehensive research solutions to supply this necessary intelligence."

"The film charts the ten-year journey of a group of judges, lawyers, and scientists," said Joe Looby, eDiscovery industry veteran and the film's director. "The Decade of Discovery is about the changing role of an attorney, the right to learn the truth from your adversary, and the right to learn the truth from your government."
