This comprehensive program is designed to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complex world of digital evidence. In today’s digital age, the collection and preservation of electronic evidence plays a crucial role in many legal proceedings.
Discovery is often the longest period of a lawsuit and typically comes with challenges and roadblocks—some foreseen and some unexpected. Given the various communication platforms available, it is rare for a case to solely involve paper copies of documents. Instead, parties routinely seek information stored in emails, electronic messaging systems, cell phones, and other electronic devices. In some cases, the parties need to develop an electronically stored information (ESI) protocol to govern the format of the documents produced and to confer over the scope of electronic discovery. The failure to preserve electronic evidence can have drastic consequences.
This essential program focuses on best practices for preserving, searching for, and authenticating electronic discovery. Attend to enhance your expertise in handling digital evidence and ensure its successful presentation in litigation.
