UPCOMING EVENT: eDiscovery Symposium at Campbell University School of Law - January 22, 2010
January 18, 2010
We are happy to report that we have been named the official blog of Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law’s Annual Law Review Symposium entitled Emerging Issues in Electronic Discovery. This educational event is on Friday, January 22 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Taken from the promotional materials created for the event:
Electronic Discovery is a relatively new area of the law and is constantly evolving. Many attorneys are not aware of the potential issues that arise when a case involves electronic discovery. Examples of the types of data included in electronic discovery are e-mail, instant messaging chats, documents (such as Microsoft Office document files), accounting databases, CAD/CAM files, websites, and any other electronically stored information which could be relevant evidence in a law suit such as voicemails and data from “smartphones”. Given the complexities of modern litigation and the wide variety of information systems on the market, electronic discovery often requires IT professionals from both parties to the litigation to communicate directly to address technology incompatibilities and agree on production formats. Failure to anticipate litigation that involves Electronically Stored Information (ESI) leads to additional time and unforeseen costs in acquiring new technology or adapting existing technology to accommodate the collected data. Litigation involving ESI requires collaboration among the attorneys and parties involved. E-Discovery also raises many ethical issues including those related to metadata.
The keynote speaker for the event is the Honorable John L. Carroll. Pricing is at $150 for general admission, and $100 for Campbell University Law School Alumni. Judges fees are complementary. CLE credits will be available, and breakfast and lunch will be provided.
