CD of Teleconference with Q&A
|
The new Federal Rules amendments have turned the spotlight on electronically stored information (ESI) and its unique challenges. ESI is pervasive - it is found in e-mail, instant messages, blogs, data storage devices, BlackBerry® handhelds, PDAs, as well as laptops, PCs and networks.
The efficient search, retrieval and collection of massive volumes of ESI for evidence relevant to litigation or investigations is a daunting challenge for companies and attorneys. The majority of companies are not at all prepared to respond to e-discovery requests or to enforce litigation holds.
Attorneys must be prepared to work with IT departments to develop policies and procedures that will support cost-effective and time-saving search and retrieval methods that will do the job.
Listen as our panel of litigation and e-discovery specialists discusses the legal and technology issues of ESI and the latest methods and best practices for ESI collection, search and retrieval.
Our panel included:
Robert Brownstone, Esq., Law & Technology Director, Fenwick & West, Mountain View, Calif. He advises clients on electronic discovery, on electronic information management and on retention/destruction policies and protocols. He works with clients and colleagues to assess and implement computer support solutions.
M. James Daley, Partner, Redgrave Daley Ragan & Wagner, Kansas City, Mo. He has over 25 years of complex litigation experience with emphasis on e-discovery and technology law. He is senior editor for the Sedona Conference's Commentary on Use of Search and Retrieval Methods. He is a member of the Sedona Working Group on Electronic Document Retention and Production and served as co-chair of the Search & Retrieval Sciences group.
Thomas E. Stevens, Vice President, ACT Litigation Services, Valencia, Calif. He works with law firms and corporate legal departments on the use of alternative strategies and technologies to reduce the cost and time of very large discovery matters. Such alternative strategies and technologies include the application of advanced search technology to defensibly reduce and accelerate the review of documents and outsourced document review.
The panel reviewed these and other key questions:
- What are the obstacles that make information retrieval so difficult, time consuming and costly?
- What are the basic blocking and tackling steps that counsel must undertake leading into the meet and confer?
- What IT issues should every attorney understand in developing an approach to ESI search and retrieval?
- What are the best practices for implementing a search and retrieval master plan?
