Law360 recently interviewed a number of members of ACAM including me and wrote an article entitled “5 Tips For Serving As A Successful Special Master” which included my comments not to “be afraid to ask for a modification to view certain documents or speak to additional parties if that will better serve the court’s goals.” The Law360 article’s 5 tips are as follows:
Create a Culture of Respect
Be Accessible to the Parties
Talk to the Judge (as Much as You Can)
Know Your Order
Strike the Right Tone
Where there are complex eDiscovery, IT, or Internet business disputes parties can recommend to the Judge that a Special Master be appointed, or the Judge may recommend the parties offer Special Master candidates.
