eDiscovery and Ethical Considerations for Social Media - On Demand

eDiscovery and Ethical Considerations for Social Media

Sponsored by Driven, Inc.

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 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:

Ronni Solomon is a Partner in King & Spalding’s Atlanta office and head of the firm’s E-Discovery Practice.

Amy Sellars is an Assistant General Counsel for Walmart focused exclusively on discovery issues.

Proactive Discovery Processes - October 3, 2017

Proactive Discovery Processes: Strategies for Avoiding Sanctions & Managing Costs

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA, DTI and Epiq

Law firms and in-house legal departments involved in litigation are now often mandated, both federally and locally, to properly handle eDiscovery processes and costs.  Attorneys are required to conduct efficient discovery and are charged with a duty of competence in managing discovery.  Mishandling of discovery can lead to high costs and sanctions, but many small to mid-sized firms struggle with utilizing resources effectively to properly manage discovery.  For large firms, they must ensure they have strategies in place to handle discovery when engaging in litigation involving these smaller firms.

Join us for this 60-minute webinar, where our panelists will discuss recent developments in discovery case law, and expectations and mandates from the courts that litigators face.  Our panelists will discuss the top areas in discovery where law firms and in-house legal departments, regardless of size, face sanctions and how firms of different sizes can leverage their resources to protect themselves.  Finally, our speakers will provide strategies to make sure your legal teams are prepared for the complex eDiscovery process and proactively implement effective tactics.

Hon. Meenu Sasser 
Judge, 15th Judicial Circuit of Florida

The Value and Risk of Digital Breadcrumbs - October 3, 2017

Understanding the Value (and Risk) of Digital Breadcrumbs

Sponsored by iDiscovery Solutions and Munger Tolles & Olson LLP
Although the description does not specially state that CLE credit is offered, Munger Tolles is California MCLE provider no. 2965

During litigation or investigations, we are quick to look for the content-based smoking gun – the substance of communications.  What did she say in the email?  What did he text about?

Traditionally, that may have been the fastest way to the core of the issue; however, today’s interconnected world is changing that landscape in many ways.  The digital breadcrumbs we leave behind about our interactions can tell us far more about individual events than just content itself.

Hunter McMahon of iDS, Bobby Malhotra of Munger Tolles & Olson, and Jenny Englander of Ogletree Deakins will discuss how the rapid adoption of new technologies, including the proliferation of IoT devices, is creating an ever-growing repository of user event data (logins, connections, GPS, communications, etc.) that can offer insight unlike any content-based analysis can.  By leveraging event-based analytics and interactive visualizations, we are able see event relationships, correlations, anomalies, and much more.

Join them to learn how you can approach the following questions and determine their answers, for your organization or clients. 

• * What event data are we keeping?  And does it pose greater risks (e.g., privacy, security, etc.) than it does business use value?
• * How are we leveraging that data to benefit the company (e.g., compliance monitoring, audits, etc.)?
• * Can we combine our traditional content-based analysis with event analysis for greater efficiencies in litigation, investigations, etc.?
