E-Discovery 2016: Best Practices and Ethical Implications

Tuesday, September 27 | 6 pm – 9 pm

 Program Chair:

Nameer Shukri | Law Clerk for Hon. Charles E. Ramos, Commercial Division, New York State Supreme Court

  • Technology has taken hold in the eDiscovery realm. Codes of professional responsibility and court rules have raised the bar on attorneys’ technological competence. What skills and knowledge do counsel need to meet judicial expectations and ethical obligations and reduce the risk of sanctions? Our experienced faculty will consider intersections of technology and ethics, court expectations and business realities in the world of electronic information and eDiscovery as well as demystify data sources, the use of technology in eDiscovery, and the role of expertise to reduce cost and risk, in the context of the eDiscovery lifecycle of preservation, collection, review, and production. We’ll consider the perspectives of both the bench and the practitioner. Gain practical insight into procedures and tools that promote accuracy, reduce cost, and provide defensibility.
