Metadata: Understanding Your Corpus - On Demand

Metadata: The Key to Understanding Your Document Corpus
Sponsored by Everlaw


Understanding metadata and its role in ediscovery is key for attorneys to provide competent representation under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Yet for many attorneys, metadata remains a mystery. Without a basic understanding of what metadata is, where it comes from, and how to leverage it during document review, it can be challenging to conduct effective early case assessment or craft an effective review strategy. This has far-reaching implications later in the process of litigation or investigations in terms of meeting case deadlines while controlling costs, and ultimately delivering results that satisfy clients.

Join this webinar to improve your understanding and create a working knowledge of what ingestion is. Plus, you will learn:

- The basics of data collection, metadata, and how metadata functions in ediscovery.
- Why data ingestion is important to the practice of law.
- Improve your understanding of ediscovery and why it's essential in providing competent representation.

Find and Collect Relevant Information - On Demand

From Azure to Zoimas Where to Find Relevant Information—And How to Collect It
Sponsored by Corporate Counsel Business Journal


Whether it’s cloud storage, “smart” devices in the home, fitness wearables, social media, or chat applications, there are too many data streams for counsel to singlehandedly manage. Yet they are ethically obligated to stay on top of these emerging data sources and develop effective strategies for dealing with the information that their clients generate.

This program will explain the complexities associated with the identification of potentially relevant information from these emerging sources, as well as the challenges of defensibly collecting data from them. Our experts will also suggest practical advice for defensible, cost-effective workflows for identification, preservation, and collection.
