It’s Clear that the 2006 Rules Changes Have Made People Think Differently about Electronic Evidence – Are You Lagging Behind?

With the rules amendments on the scene since December 1, 2006, corporate counsel and their outside legal teams have been interpreting the changes and thinking about the ways in which they manage Electronically Stored Information ("ESI"). The result? For some, it’s large scale adjustments to records retention policies, the hiring of designated electronic discovery experts and the formation of electronic discovery teams. For others, it’s been business as usual.

West Legalworks and the Daily Journal Corporation have partnered for the third year to bring together a top notch faculty who will assess the changes of the past year, analyze newsworthy discovery breakdowns and help you be better prepared in the event litigation ensues. Led by a roster of expert attorneys, litigation support managers, IT gurus, service providers and members of the judiciary, the emphasis of this one-day event will be the impact of the changes that the 2006 amendments have already had on electronic discovery as well as what we can expect to see in the future. If you are in any way involved in electronic discovery or the retention of electronic information, you can’t afford to miss this event!

• It's Been 15 Months Since the Rules Amendments Came Onto the Scene. What’s Changed?
