Abstract
Even though some courts still allow it, the once acceptable practice of asking custodians to identify and collect their own data is virtually unheard of in today's environment. In most cases self-collection is eliminated entirely, or at a minimum, is supplemented by oversight provided by certified examiners.
Mission
The mission of this learning series is to arm you and your team with the information necessary to better consult with your clients and/or in-house support team on future matters that involve the collection of ESI in the face of litigation and regulatory investigation. During this 45 minute session we'll discuss the pitfalls to avoid in the early stages of the discovery process using real world scenarios and recent cases as a backdrop.
Overview
- Best practices that should have been used in the referenced cases;
- Understanding the process, mapping a standard collection workflow;
- Creating your own pre-collection IT questionnaire;
- Types of services available and tips for vetting third party providers.
Take Away
Upon completion, all participants will receive links to the cases cited during the call, a chain of custody template along with a sample collection report, and a comprehensive best practices guideline prepared by the eDiscovery Committee of the Commercial and Federal Litigation Section of the New York State Bar Association. In addition, verified attendees will be eligible for a live 90 minute Forensics lunch-n-learn workshop to be held in-person during the month of March.
