We are now just 6-weeks away from Technology in Practice 2014! New sessions are still being added. Here are some of the latest highlights.

For the comprehensive list, check out the Full Program.

Session Description
Smartphones: The Evidence in Your Back Pocket Smartphones have become one of the most important sources of electronic evidence in business litigation. People often use their smartphone in the context of spontaneity and immediacy, unaware of the consequences in future litigation. This can result in a treasure trove of key evidence that is helpful to litigators such as:
  • Text Messages (often the most important evidence)
  • Emails
  • Calendar Items and Contacts
  • Documents and Notes
  • Photos and Videos
  • Phone Call History
  • Voicemails
  • Internet Browsing History
  • WIFI and GPS Location Data

Learn how to use smartphone evidence for successful case outcomes by collecting smartphone evidence defensibly (without the smartphone owner giving up possession of the device), searching for evidence based on the type of case (employment law, class action, family law), and reviewing smartphone evidence quickly and cost-effectively using PDF Evidence Reports. During this session, you will receive a sample PDF Evidence Report (with examples of evidence from actual cases), checklists; and case law summaries related to smartphone evidence.

Legal Services Innovation: The Imperative of Cost Management Discussions around eDiscovery costs are not going away because there isn’t a standard framework or protocol for evaluating the impact of key decisions on case strategy. Join us for a pivotal and timely discussion as we map out the key decision points at each stage of the discovery process and their impact on overall costs.
  • What references do you have available to facilitate effective conversations on cost-reduction strategies for collections, culling, processing and review?
  • What do corporate clients expect re: the positioning and application of technology and proactive project management techniques?
  • What cost-models are surfacing in law firms?
Lawyer Project Leadership: The Evolution of Legal Project Management Over the past few years “Legal Project Management” has become a buzz word in practice management discussions. However, it has not been adopted as readily as hoped. Perhaps this is because lawyers are there to lead on case strategy, and not manage the logistics of a case. Gartner projects a 15% growth for the ediscovery industry annually, in large part due to the increasing volumes of litigation and regulatory investigation. Join us for this practical orientation to the baseline involvement, skills and expertise lawyers need to have in order to successfully lead their client through the eDiscovery and Review phases of their cases.
  • Gain insight into the art of delegating, while still being accountable for the end result.
  • Learn how to align and articulate the various options available to your case strategy in a proportional manner:
    • How can you leverage the options at hand to highlight the value of your legal expertise and the perceived value of the end deliverable to the client?
    • What guidelines can you draw on to budget a case out 18 months with minimal information?
    • What standard reports and metrics will help put your project on “autopilot”?
  • Uncover some effective “tips and ticks from the trenches” for getting the most out of your support team and service providers – and how to get them all working together optimally toward the same case objectives.
Sliding Doors: Aligning Vendor Capabilities to Short and Long Term Needs Aligning vendor resources to internal capabilities is vital to the success of legal services delivery. Learn approaches and strategies for aligning vendor capabilities against your own on a case-by-case basis and in supporting the evolution of law firm services. We’ll cover contracting, alignment of team resources around technology and understanding the vendor perspective.
Making the Leap from iBlaze Power User to Ipro GuruAN IPRO WORKSHOP Join us to get a glimpse of what your world will look like in this intuitive and powerful technology. Learn what it will take to manage your cases from end to end and the Top 10 benefits of working in this application on a daily basis.
Taming the Beast: How Technology is Streamlining the Discovery ProcessA SYMANTEC WORKSHOP This session will provide practical insight into how technology is streamlining the management of evidence in the corporate environment – from email archiving, retention and data classification to preservation and legal holds to enhanced review and analysis capabilities.
Mediating eDiscovery Disputes: A Canadian Perspective One of the key challenges facing Canadian courts today is the management of eDiscovery disputes with limited resources. Join this elite panel of legal community stakeholders who are proposing a uniquely Canadian alternative to the U.S. eDiscovery Master role. Join us as we explore options for parties to facilitate the alignment of discovery plans themselves or, with the encouragement of the judge or arbitrator, hire a “neutral party” to resolve their ediscovery dispute. Where would the onus for Discovery Plans lie? What resources exist? What precedents exist for this emerging trend?
