Tuesday, April 8, 2008

A Litigation Series CLE TeleConference

Electronically stored information (ESI) has become the standard as the world has moved toward digital technology. But ESI has its own set of issues, especially when it comes to the courtroom. Changes in technology appear at a rapid pace and create ever-evolving rules of evidence and discovery. Litigators need to be up-to-date on the current rules or risk losing cases and clients. This teleconference and live audio webcast is designed to provide practical tips to those seeking to use ESI as proof in business litigation and how to keep such data protected.

Topics to be covered include:

• Federal rules applicable to using ESI as proof
• Procedural aspects of gaining admission of ESI
• Complying with ESI requests from opposing counsel
• The top ways to protect trade secrets when admitting them into evidence
• Confidentiality agreements and orders
• Remedies for ESI violations
