A Short Introduction to Electronic Discovery

This program will provide a short introduction to the world of E-Discovery, predominantly in the civil litigation setting. Prof. Ted Hirt joined us to discuss E-Discovery and some related topics: the challenge of "big data," how the Federal Civil Rules deal with E-discovery (including case scheduling and orders), and "proportionality." Additionally, this program covered topics including dealing with the client, safeguarding privileges, ways to deploy technologies in E-discovery production, and sanctions or measures for the destruction of information.

Featuring:

Prof. Ted Hirt, Professorial Lecturer in Law, George Washington University Law School
