  • Electronic information permeates our society in ever increasing volumes and varieties. Indeed, in this time of COVID-19, when social distancing and brick-and-mortar businesses are closed, electronic information will become even more central. This two-part webinar will explore the discovery and use of electronic information in civil litigation, as well as ethical concerns arising out of attorney use of electronic information.

    Part One, the first hour, will look at competence, confidentiality, and supervision issues for attorneys in the use of that information.

    Part Two, the second hour, will focus on preservation, search, production, and spoliation of electronic information. Questions will be taken throughout both parts.

    Please note: This program will consist of audio-only instruction by the faculty, along with a visual aid presentation.

    Program Fee:
    $69 for Members | $169 for Nonmembers
    Members who are Recent Law Graduates, Newly Admitted Lawyers (admitted for the first time in any state or country 2018-2020), In-House/Corporate Counsel, Judges, or attorneys that practice within the Government, Academic or Not-for-Profit sectors attend this program for free.
