A One-Day Workshop on Enterprise-Wide
Readiness for e-Discovery
|
You know the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure (Rules) now include explicit requirements for producing
electronically stored
information (ESI) in federal civil cases. You know federal courts have
demonstrated their readiness to shift the burden of proof, impose steep
punitive damages, shift responsibility for payment of legal fees, and
issue unfavorable rulings against parties who don’t meet production
requirements.
But do you know what
you need to know about your ESI to satisfy the Rules? Do you know what
you must do to be ready to produce ESI, to avoid sanctions, to escape
adverse rulings?

ready to meet this challenge?

"This workshop was much more
useful than ones I previously attended because it included
practical advice as well as covering the legal aspects of
e-Discovery."
Kathy, CRLM
“The
IMERGE e-Discovery course was an excellent investment in
professional education. The class presentation was a
comprehensive overview of the New Rules of Civil
Procedure and the impact on e-Discovery. The course
materials and hand outs included the in-class slide set
and a supplemental CD-ROM with well-thought out PDF
materials that are most useful for implementing the
concepts presented in the course: e.g., summary matrices
and checklists for assessing relevant programmatic
infrastructure and the organization’s readiness for
e-Discovery events.”
Jim, a CRM and
Records/Information Management Consultant
