Your Updated E-Discovery Primer – Essentials for Every Litigator’s Practice
For many lawyers, e-discovery is essentially the elephant in the living room – something that is clearly present in everyone’s litigation practice, but often ignored as if it is not there. There are many causes for this phenomenon, but the most likely reasons include a perception that e-discovery is very technical and complicated, as well as expensive for clients. The time has come to introduce the elephant, since e-discovery does not have to be any of those. This session covers:

• Measures and types of electronic data;
  
• Differences between digital and paper;
  
• Process model of an e-discovery project;
  
• Use of discovery counsel, e-neutrals, and special masters; and
  
• New developments like “emoji discovery”!

Legal Ethics and Professionalism in an Electrified Battlefield
1.0 ethics credit applied for
Lawsuits have long been won and lost because of discovery, and e-discovery has electrified that battlefield. E-discovery presents unique ethical challenges as well as challenges to professionalism, which arrive not only in the form of obstructive tactics and incivility; they enter the case when a lack of competence with e-discovery technologies and data issues causes unnecessary burden and cost. Two experienced trial attorneys identify and analyze these issues, and provide concrete practice tips to avoid ethics and professionalism problems in e-discovery.

Think Outside the Device: Demo-ing the Latest Digital Evidence Available to Produce in Litigation
Come and see demos of the latest digital evidence available for production in litigation! New technology relentlessly thrusts itself into the lives of our clients, and many adopt it with gusto. This presentation shows what legal teams must know about preserving and collecting hard-to-find but relevant client and opposing party evidence from mobile devices, the cloud, cell phone service providers, automobiles, wearables, appliances, smart speakers, and the Internet of Things.
