Benefits:

Complying with the latest discovery rules in federal and state practice requires an understanding of the current case law and regulations in this quickly developing area. Today, almost all computer applications and platforms generate metadata, which can be disastrous for your clients. Metadata comes to the fore at each phase of the e-discovery process, including in inadvertent disclosures, meet-and-confer, culling/reviewing/coding, and planning. This comprehensive program provides guidance so attorneys and legal professionals can easily grasp the current requirements mandated under the law, revised e-discovery practices, legal issues involving metadata, and compliance required for effective retention and destruction of electronically stored information. Our nationally distinguished faculty will discuss the full extent of the duty to preserve electronic evidence and provide practical strategies for streamlining efforts to minimize costs and time in e-discovery. Registration includes online access to course and reference materials that serve as a helpful guide to the numerous topics and techniques discussed in the program.
