What Every Attorney Should Know About eDiscovery in 2017: eDiscovery Trends
Early this year, I asked if we’ve (finally) reached the age of technical competence of attorneys. Perhaps we’re not there yet. However, CloudNine is sponsoring a webcast today which may help bridge the gap.
Today’s webcast at noon CT (1pm ET, 10am PT) is titled What Every Attorney Should Know About eDiscovery in 2017 and will be conducted via the BrightTALK network. This is a one-hour session that Karen DeSouza (Director of Review Services here at CloudNine) and I have conducted for the past couple of years for hundreds of legal professionals for CLE credit in Texas. It’s a good fundamental session that covers a lot of things attorneys need to know in eDiscovery today, including
- Key Terms to Know Regarding eDiscovery
- Phases of the eDiscovery Life Cycle
- Federal and State Rules Regarding Electronically Stored Information (ESI)
- Competency Ethical Duties of Attorneys Regarding eDiscovery
- Important Cases in the Evolution of eDiscovery Best Practices
- Useful Resources for eDiscovery Continued Education
The webcast is CLE Approved in Texas and Florida. The Texas approval is 1.0 hours of CLE credit, with 0.25 hours of Ethics credit. To obtain approval in Texas, you will need to send your information (along with bar number) after the webcast to Karen at kdesouza@cloudnine.com, so that she can log your credit hour.
The Florida approval is for 1.0 hours of CLE, with 1.0 hours of Technology CLE credit. As you’ll remember, Florida late last year mandated three hours of technology CLE for attorneys over a three year period, starting January 1 of this year. So, if you’re in the Florida Bar, this an opportunity to get one of those hours!
