Electronically Stored Information and Competence: What An Attorney Must Know and How to Learn It
Electronically stored information (ESI) is ubiquitous. It is – or should be – a subject for discovery in all litigation. Moreover, attorneys communicate with clients, other attorneys, and the public through electronic methods on a regular basis. For these reasons, for an attorney to be competent, he or she must have ‒ or learn ‒ skills in managing ESI.
Competence when dealing with ESI is critical for attorneys to effectively represent their clients in litigation and in negotiation. It is also necessary to maintain client confidences and avoid wavier of the attorney-client privilege and work product protection. Competence in ESI is also important as attorneys engage in advertising and discussions in social media.
Educational Objectives:
• Understand what questions to ask of clients and the adversaries involving ESI in litigation and issues that arise when delegating responsibilities to co-counsel, vendors, or experts.
• Appreciate how to communicate with your client and others when engaged in transactional practice.
• Learn about issues associated with maintaining confidential communications.
• Recognize how the Internet and social media may be used when dealing with third parties and the public.
