ETA1: E-Discovery Technologies and Services in the 2009 Economic Environment: In-sourcing, Outsourcing and Hybrid Solutions
Sponsored by Electronic Evidence Discovery

It is clear from recent court decisions, such asVictor Stanley andQualcomm, that parties need to develop more reliable, transparent and defensible methods for the preservation, collection, search, review and production of ESI. Now facing increased economic pressure, the decisions on what can be in-sourced or outsourced have become even more hotly debated inside corporations.

Join our panelists for an engaging discussion on how corporations are managing these important decisions, what enterprise content management tools are available to allow corporations to manage aspects of discovery on their own and how outside service providers are using advanced analytics, process definition and technology to significantly reduce discovery costs.

ETA2: Finding and Using the E-Discovery Easy Button: Risks and Rewards from Simplifying E-Discovery
Sponsored by Quest Software

E-discovery challenges are readily apparent to sophisticated IT and legal departments who routinely deal with multiple, competing interests raised by e-discovery concerns. Both IT and legal teams must understand issues such as identifying where responsive data resides, how to best address meet-and-confer obligations and develop a cost-effective discovery response strategy. Amid putting out case-specific fires, IT and legal teams must also implement retention policies, control access to ESI, and ensure that critical data can be located and accessed in a timely manner. This session will explore risks and rewards from simplifying e-discovery processes, and will discuss ways to close existing technology gaps along with providing real-world best practices and advice.

Sponsored by CT Summation

In an age of constant connectivity – juggling mountains of personal and work email; mobile access to countless applications; rampant blogging and online networking – is there any such thing as workplace privacy?

This presentation addresses the current state of privacy law as it pertains to data viewed or created at work. Explore the fundamentals of protected workplace privacy, weighing factors like data type, an office's location and the influence of privilege. Learn what to consider when monitoring, collecting and producing electronically stored information in the work environment – and what both the employer and employee can do to balance and protect personal and corporate interests.
