This presentation will offer a general overview and introduction to E-discovery, with particular attention to the changing roles of paralegals in this area. The material will cover what paralegals need to know about developing standards for retaining and preserving e-mail, and will cover the relationship of e-mail and attorney-client privilege. The presentation will deal with document production in electronic format, and a number of cases dealing with this issue and new technology will be reviewed.

What past participants have said:

Great coverage of topic material for all phases (pre-planning through production). Especially liked discussion of relevant case law and changes to rules.
