In this practical webinar, you will learn about recent developments in e-Discovery and spoliation law. You will learn from a number of cases around the country to analyze how various judges have ruled on spoliation issues and determine when the duty to preserve evidence arises. You will explore the different rulings that have been reached, which range from sanctions for bad faith to upholding a duty to preserve evidence – even if that evidence is in the immediate control of a non-party.
Although courts come to different conclusions on exactly how to handle a spoliation issue, one thing remains certain: courts have little or no patience with attorneys who are not familiar with technology, e-Discovery, and spoliation issues.
You will learn about the necessity of understanding technology issues and obtain a basic outline of the law. If you are wondering whether you know enough about technology, e-Discovery, and spoliation – you probably do not.
Upon course completion, you will be able to answer the following questions:
- What is a “duty to preserve” and when is it triggered during litigation?
- How can litigators avoid spoliation problems while using spoliation as a litigation weapon?
- How can parties use claw-back agreements to mitigate damage from inadvertent disclosures?
- When and how do courts sanction parties who have destroyed or lost electronically stored information?
- What advice should litigators provide to their clients regarding the preservation of electronically-stored information?
After the course, speakers will engage in a question and answer session with participants to answer any remaining questions directly.
