Seattle, WA, April 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Applied Discovery®, a leader in comprehensive electronic discovery products and services for complex legal matters, today announced that it is offering a complimentary CLE program aimed at providing legal teams in law firms and corporations insider e-discovery best practices for dealing with complex legal matters. In the legal industry the single largest expense for most discovery projects are costs associated with attorney review of documents. Understanding how to mitigate and manage these costs using best practices is especially critical given the current economic crisis which has led to unprecedented increases in attorney layoffs at law firms and corporations even as the risk of litigation increases. Registration for the program is available at www.applieddiscovery.com/DC.
The Washington, D.C.-based Applied Discovery program will take place on Thursday, April 30th, 2009 from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM at the Ritz-Carlton Washington, D.C. and will include the following three sessions, each worth one professional CLE credit in eligible states:
Case Law Spotlight
In order to develop an effective e-discovery strategy, it is critical that legal teams understand recent case law and court rules. In this session experienced panelists will discuss the impact of recent e-discovery rulings on your business or practice. Key decisions and court rules covered include Maryland Protocol, In re Fannie Mae Securities Litigation, Lorraine v. Markel, and Mancia v. Mayflower, among others.
Privacy Considerations Surrounding New Technologies and Global Data Collection
As corporations leverage emerging technologies to conduct business communications, and as globalization in business becomes more widespread, practitioners are finding that the potential technological and geographic scope of data collection is increasing. Casting this broader net makes it increasingly complicated to navigate issues surrounding data privacy expectations. This session will address key privacy considerations for some of the most challenging “new” issues, including instant messages, text messages, and data from the EU.
E-Discovery Best Practices: Government Investigations
Proactively managing the discovery process can have an enormous impact on the success of the inquiry. The discovery matters related to typical government investigations are highly complex, open-ended, and involve enormous quantities of documents consisting primarily of email. This session will provide guidance on developing an effective ESI strategy from collection to production in order to address the specific nuances involved with responding to government subpoenas and investigations.
Featured industry panelists at the Washington D.C. program include: E. Regan Adams, Esq., Proofspace and The Information Law Group; Courtney Barton, Esq., Crowell & Moring; Michael Berman, Esq., Rifkin, Livingston, Levitan & Silver, LLC; Deana L.
