ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE, MARKETING, & ETHICS 2007 FEAT. SHARON NELSON & JOHN SIMEK CD SEMINAR (R80-0804)

Electronic Evidence in Everyday Cases

Most attorneys aren't dealing with the mega-cases, where it is assumed that the electronic evidence costs will exceed six or seven figures. So how can you effectively use computer forensics in everyday cases? How much might it cost you? How do you select a vendor that will be proficient, and yet as cost-conscious as you are? How much should you expend to spend at the end of the day? What methods are there to hone in on the most valuable evidence quickly? Our experts help you figure out how to deal with electronic evidence competently, but with a budget in mind.

Ethics in the Electronic Era

In a recent nightmare scenario, a law firm was sanctioned because they missed a trial date - they had forgotten to whitelist the court's e-mail address and the court notification was trapped by the firm's spam filter. In another case, a law firm was sanctioned for "reckless disregard" in their handling of electronic evidence. The list goes on and on. Your electronic advertising, your handling of e-mail, your case management - there are so many mines waiting to explode. Our experts will help you navigate this dangerous territory by showing you an astonishing list of examples of ethical considerations which you need to know to avoid inadvertently stepping on a mine in the electronic minefield in which we all now practice!
