Here’s the essential information about a new half-day electronic discovey seminar I’m offering:
Preparing for the New World of Electronic Discovery:
Easing Your Transition from Paper to Electronic Discovery
Many electronic discovery seminars are impossibly technical or deal only with zillion dollar cases with terabytes of information. This seminar focuses on the practicing lawyer who knows that electronic discovery is coming and wants to learn what he or she realistically has to do to be prepared and take advantage of opportunities.
Dennis Kennedy is highly regarded as an electronic discovery authority who can explain the topic in “ways that practicing lawyers can understand.”
This seminar is designed to make your transition to electronic discovery easier. In this half-day seminar, your group will receive a solid grounding in the practical and technical issues that matter most to litigators. Kennedy will highlight the key issues that you must understand to make a successful transition into an era of litigation where electronic discovery becomes the norm, not the exception.
By the end of the seminar, you will have a good understanding of:
- Basic tools and approaches used in electronic discovery and whether they apply to your cases
- Offensive and defensive uses of electronic discovery and new opportunities
- A solid set of simple strategies and tactics for taking your first (or later) steps into the daunting world of electronic discovery
- Practical ideas for making your life easier, winning more cases and keeping your clients happy
The seminar is divided into two sections. The first covers some necessary computer forensics fundamentals. The second takes a look at what electronic discovery will mean for you in your practice.
