Ruth Promislow has been selected as a member of The Sedona Conference Working Group 11’s Drafting Team on Data Security and Privacy Liability. The mission of the Working Group is to identify and comment on trends in data security and privacy law, and develop best practices to:

• help organizations take action before and after a data breach to minimize their legal exposure;
• inform affected parties of their rights and responsibilities; and
• assist in the coordination of regulatory, law enforcement, and judicial responses to data breach and related incidents.

The Sedona Conference is a nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational institute dedicated to the advanced study of law and policy in several areas including privacy and data protection, antitrust law, complex litigation, and intellectual property rights. Its mission is to move the law forward in a reasoned and just way through the creation and publication of nonpartisan consensus commentaries and through advanced legal education for the bench and bar.
