Given that 90 percent of information in today’s digital world is stored electronically, it’s no surprise that issues surrounding e-discovery continue to dominate current legal headlines. Moreover, as the sanctions landscape widens (recent cases have not only sanctioned clients, but also in-house and retained counsel for e-discovery misconduct), it is more critical than ever to be familiar with current trends and “best practices” in this rapidly developing area of the law.

Among the topics to be discussed will be:

  • A review of statistics and seminal cases that lay the fundamental groundwork for this area of the law
  • Practical, risk-management take aways concerning a wide spectrum of issues, from properly implementing litigation holds, to determining when it is appropriate or necessary to involve an e-discovery expert in your case; to strategies for streamlining the harvesting, processing and review of electronically stored information
  • A review of how the electronic discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are being applied in practice by the Federal Courts as we approach the second anniversary of their enactment
  • A review of the status of proposed California rules on e-discovery, and how the state courts have been dealing with the issue
