PM: Practice Management - Leveraging Legal Technology [Top]
Legal technology continues to offer new and challenging opportunities for law firms. It's impossible to run a firm without technology but firms must effectively manage that technology in order to stay competitive and profitable. Law firms that innovatively integrate technology into all aspects of their practice are setting a new bar of efficiency, responsiveness and client service. This track focuses on leveraging and utilizing legal technology to the benefit of your firm.

Applying Project Management techniques can have a significant positive impact on how effectively and efficiently lawyers are able to service their clients and manage their practice. This is true whether the "project" is a multi-million page document review and production effort or the implementation of a new practice-specific point solution. During this session, panelists will share their experiences in leveraging project management processes and tools in order to produce results and discuss practical suggestions for adopting these concepts to your environment.
EED: Evolving E-Discovery Issues and Methods [Top]

Sessions in the Corporate eDiscovery track will provide the
client perspective on the ESI issues faced when executing the
requirements set by the courts. Panelists from corporate legal
departments, law firms, and service providers will share their
experience to offer practical, actionable guidance on implementing
a litigation hold process, preparing counsel to negotiate in
discovery matters, and building an internal discovery task force.
AT: Advanced IT [Top]
Sessions in the Advanced IT Track, created in conjunction with
ILTA, focus on a wide variety of in-depth and practical discussions
of strategic IT issues and business practices most affecting the
legal profession today. Join us as industry leaders present case
studies on legal technology best practices and strategies they

-
AT2: The Role of Mobile Remote andWireless
Technologies in Disaster Recovery [Top]
It's not uncommon for a disaster plan to include "work from
home" or "work from another site" scenarios.We'll not only
explore the uses of mobile, remote and wireless technologies in
recovery, but also in the planning and execution of the plans
themselves. Our experts give you some interesting and unique
tips on using mobile, remote and wireless technologies.
-
AT3: The Move to Office 2007 – Emerging Best
Practices [Top]
Law firms are facing a big question -- when should we move to
Office 2007? Once a simple boxed suite of desktop applications,
the 2007 Microsoft Office system is a full-fledged platform that
reaches far beyond the desktop and even the enterprise. Follow
the journey of Office 2007 early adopter law firms -- from their
decision criteria to the latest best practices for implementing
Office 2007 successfully. Take away practical strategies for
planning your own successful Office 2007 migration.
ET1: Proactive verses Reactive: Reducing discovery risk and cost with a pre-emptive archiving strategy [Top]
A large amount of the cost of discovering Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is the cost of finding it. ESI can hide anywhere in a corporate infrastructure. Custodian workstations, network share drives, USB thumb drives, CD/DVDs, iPods etc. A centrally managed and fully indexed archive can speed the collection of responsive records as well as more fully control and insure the placement of litigations holds. This presentation will show you how proactively planning for ESI discovery will dramatically reduce your discovery risk and cost.
ET2: The E-Discovery Easy Button: Finding it and Using it [Top]
The challenges of e-discovery for the IT organization are
numerous and include risk, cost, capture, access and dealing
with multiple, competing interests. Between understanding the
issues, knowing where data resides, and preparing for meet and
confer, your IT teams will have to implement retention policies,
control access to ESI, and ensure that data can be located and
accessed in a timely manner. This session will explain different
e-discovery technologies, show where the technology gaps exist
and will provide the closest thing to an E-Discovery Easy Button
you'll ever see.
ET3: Accelerating Document-By- Document Legal Review [Top]
Experts estimate that Legal Document Review represents 70% of the cost of eDiscovery for litigation. Accelerating this review process can have a huge impact on cost and on readiness for meeting Discovery deadlines. Improvements in bulk coding through conceptual clustering may help, but inevitably, the legal team must contend with an expensive, document-by-document review of key documents in the case. The question is, how to accelerate the review process while maintaining or improving review precision, especially when the situation requires document-by-document analysis. Join Ken Sokol, director of program management for EED, to learn how to accelerate review and improve coding accuracy of document-by-document review — maximizing the use of analytic methods throughout the review cycle to maximize the effectiveness of your review team.
Defensibility: How Law & Technology Determine the Admissibility of Evidence [Top]
The notion of legally defensible electronic discovery offers both
promise and new challenges in litigation today, but few can
even define it. Affecting every stage of electronic discovery
from preservation to eventual admissibility, defensibility can
dictate the ultimate success or failure of the modern day
lawsuit.
This seminar will address what makes certain processes,
procedures and software programs defensible from the legal
and technological perspectives, drawing on influential cases,
federal law and industry expert advice on emerging trends
and best practices.
