Ethics of Blogging for Lawyers - Ethics - August 11, 2016

Ethics of Blogging for Lawyers

Sponsored by Avvo

Most of us are taught that being honest is an unquestioned virtue – yet the law doesn’t necessarily see it that way. This course will explore the legal status of “required honesty,” before diving deep into a review of the various Rules of Professional Conduct relating to honesty, and how they play out depending on the relationship between attorney-speaker and subject.

Lawyers who attend this webinar will learn about:

• The relationship between First Amendment protected speech and professional speech regulation.
• How shifting cultural values shape what we define as a lie.
• Negotiation ethics and the difference between bargaining and lying.

The Defend Trade Secrets Act - August 16, 2016

The Defend Trade Secrets Act: The Lawyer and Forensic Technologist Perspective 

Sponsored by iDiscovery Solutions

Note:  This webinar is only free to the first 30 enrollees

On May 11, 2016, President Obama signed the Defend Trade Secrets Act ("DTSA"), which Congress passed on April 27, 2016.  With President Obama's signature, the DTSA has now become the law of the land, and a federal civil remedy for trade secrets misappropriation now exists.  What does the passage of the DTSA mean for your company?
 
In this 90-minute, live webcast, I will be joined by attorneys Robert Milligan of Seyfarth Shaw and Tom Mackey of Jackson Lewis, as we describe the key features of the DTSA and compare its key provisions to the state Uniform Trade Secrets Act ("UTSA") adopted in many states. We will also provide practical tips and strategies concerning the pursuit and defense of trade secret cases in light of the DTSA, and provide some predictions concerning the future of trade secret litigation. You will also learn about digital forensics and how the preservation and analysis of workstations, networks, cloud storage, external devices and other data storage areas can help you in your investigation.
 

This program will include:

• Brief history of the DTSA
• What does the DTSA provide?
• Provisions unique to the DTSA
• The DTSA's whistleblower immunity provision
• The DTSA's notice requirements for agreements entered into or updated as of today
• Digital Forensics - where do I start
• Strategies in trade secret litigation in light of the DTSA
• What should an employer or business do now?

Speaker:

James D. Vaughn, a Managing Director of iDiscovery Solutions (iDS), is a court-recognized expert who has given testimony in nearly 70 cases involving topics such as evidence preservation, documentation of events, and computer forensic methodologies and procedures.
