Overcoming Barriers to Community Reintegration - 6 units- On-Demand

Reentry in California – Overcoming Legal Barriers to Community Reintegration 2017

Sponsored by the Practising Law Institute

In the past three decades, incarceration rates have exploded in the U.S., such that today we incarcerate over two million people, more than any other country in the world. The result is that many more people encounter the criminal justice system at some point in their lives. Indeed, an estimated 1 in 3 adults in California has an arrest or conviction record, and low-income people and people of color are disproportionately affected.

A person with a prior record faces significant barriers to employment, occupational licensing, and other basic necessities like housing, even when the record is old or relatively minor. Now more than ever, immigrants face the threat of deportation based on criminal justice contacts as minor as an arrest that did not result in conviction. This training is designed to give lawyers a foundation in the collateral consequences of contact with the criminal justice system, as well as tools for representing clients in need of reentry legal services.

eDiscovery and Ethical Considerations for Social Media - Ethics - On Demand

eDiscovery and Ethical Considerations for Social Media

Sponsored by Driven, Inc.

This webinar was originally broadcast on June 14, 2017 and CLE credit was offered for California attorneys.

Social media presents dynamic and complex challenges for even seasoned eDiscovery practitioners. Preservation and production difficulties abound, particularly with the proliferation of social messaging applications among consumers and businesses. Fold in ethical issues, together with the convoluted framework of the Stored Communications Act, and it becomes readily apparent why social media presents unique discovery challenges to counsel and clients. This program will analyze these issues and provide both practical and ethical insights on a particularly compelling discovery practice area.

Topics covered will include:

• A general overview of the different categories of social media now subject to discovery and the ethical pitfalls associated with obtaining that information
• Preservation and production standards and how they are affected by ethical considerations
• Recommendations for navigating the complexities of the Stored Communications Act

Speakers:

Amy Sellars - Assistant General Counsel, Walmart

Information Governance Offense Is The Best eDiscovery Defense - On Demand

Protecting Your Electronic Data Blindside – Why “Information Governance” Offense Is The Best “eDiscovery” Defense

Sponsored by Driven, Inc.

Most organizations are constantly struggling to contain the blitz of electronically stored information (ESI) assaulting their networks. The headlines are filled with stories of companies being thrown for a loss by data breaches and discovery sanctions because they failed to reduce their data stockpiles. Given this backdrop, can an offensive strategy of “information governance” realistically protect the ESI “blindside” of organizations?

Join us as a panel of experts provide a variety of perspectives on the issues and discuss why companies should dedicate resources to defend their ESI through an offensive information governance program.

Topics covered include:

• How courts are making the case for information governance and the nature of recent decisions on the issues
• The importance of proactive, upstream policies regarding the identification, retention, and disposition of ESI
• The need for reactive, downstream measures to ensure organizations have an eDiscovery defense prepared for internal investigations, lawsuits, and regulatory inquiries.

Speakers:

Honorable Evelyn J. Furse is a Federal Magistrate Judge in the District of Utah.

Jason R. Baron serves as Of Counsel in the Information Governance and eDiscovery Group at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP in Washington, D.C.

Philip Favro brings over fifteen years of experience to his position as a consultant for Driven.

The Future of Legal Technology - September 5, 2017

The Future of Legal Technology: Artificial Intelligence

Sponsored by DISCO and Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith LLP

DISCO, a native cloud technology, has the advantage of massive GPU compute-on-demand to power the latest machine learning technologies and algorithms, such as Google’s Word2Vec and a series of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to deliver higher levels of classification accuracy, faster than ever previously seen in the legal space.

“...DISCO AI is bringing deep learning to ediscovery, which I anticipate will dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of document analysis and minimize traditional review,” stated Gordon Calhoun, Partner and Chair of the Electronic Discovery, Information Management & Compliance Practice at Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith LLP. “Deep learning neural nets have the potential to take us beyond text data, allow us to better understand the evidentiary value of the cocoon of data that surrounds us and use the IoT as a virtual witness in the courtroom. I expect these advances will transform many other areas of the practice of law, as well.”

Pro Bono Representation - 3 units Ethics - September 7, 2017

Ethical Issues in California Pro Bono Representation 2017 

Sponsored by the Practising Law Institute

While the ethical obligations of pro bono legal practice are no different than a commercial law practice, there are practical considerations regarding eligibility of clients, challenging clients, conflicts (similar in theory, different in practice settings), expectations on both sides, case management responsibility, and different delivery models, such as limited scope representation, that cause many professionals to hesitate to offer pro bono legal services. This program is designed to answer questions regarding the ethical obligations of pro bono legal service, encourage attorneys to engage in this professionally rewarding aspect of law practice, and remove ambiguities that are barriers to engaging in pro bono legal services.

What You Will LearnAttorneys knowledgeable about  professional responsibility and pro bono service, who work in legal services, law firms, private bar programs and in-house corporate law departments will discuss the application of the California Rules of Professional Conduct, the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and, where relevant, the Proposed California Rules of Professional Conduct to pro bono legal service in different settings. The faculty will begin with the basics of pro bono, including the definition of “Pro Bono” for lawyers, why it is considered an important part of the profession, and ethical concerns unique to pro bono, as opposed to the commercial practice of law.

The faculty will also address emerging ethical issues in developing areas, such as pro bono clinics, incubators, pro bono in Federal courts, and the impact of technology in pro bono legal services.

Finally, the faculty will discuss hypothetical fact patterns to illustrate the application of the rules.
