Webinar: A Practical Guide to Efficiency in eDiscovery
January 21 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
1 Participatory MCLE Credits; 1 Technology in The Practice of Law
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the management of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) in the context of legal discovery. Designed to cater to both “beginners” and those with intermediate experience, it offers a broad perspective on the entire discovery process as it pertains to electronic data. The primary objective is to impart a solid understanding of both the fundamental and more advanced aspects of ESI handling.
Key focus areas of the presentation include:
- Introduction to ESI in Discovery: The presentation will begin with a basic introduction to ESI and its significance in the discovery process;
- Overview of the eDiscovery Process: Attendees will learn about the stages and milestones involved in managing ESI for both Federal and State legal matters;
- Examination of a Sample RFP: A sample Request for Production (RFP) issued by opposing counsel will be presented and analyzed to elucidate the various terms, definitions, and the implications inherent in such requests;
- Discussion of Data Collection: This conversation will include the specifics of the data collection referenced in the RFP, highlighting the importance of understanding the data and its relevance to the case;
- Workflow Strategies: The presentation will explore commonly employed workflows by advanced law firms for initial analysis and data culling, which is a crucial step before the review stage; and
- Adapting to Data Knowledge and Relevance: Emphasis will be placed on how slight alterations in the knowledge of the collected data, or changes in the expected level of relevance for production, can significantly impact the choice of workflow for an effective and efficient discovery and review process.
This presentation is designed to equip participants with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of ESI in the realm of legal discovery, regardless of their current level of expertise.
