Sep 23/web - Social Media & e-Discovery


from http://www.theposselist.com/2010/09/09/free-webinar-september-23-social-media-e-discovery-free-cle-credit/

"Virtual LegalTech is on September 23rd and one of the webinars is on social media and e-discovery.

The cross roads of social media and e-discovery are the new lawyer nightmare.  Posse List members across the whole e-discovery vortex –– the data collector vendors, the forensic experts, the contract attorneys, etc. —   are dealing with it.  With eDiscovery expenses on the rise and data volumes increasing rapidly, e-discovery can be challenging enough. 
However, with social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and LinkedIn having 100s of millions of users worldwide, this adds a new dimension to the challenge of managing ESI. 
The webinar is called "Social Media & eDiscovery: Untangling the Tweets for the Trials," and it's complimentary.    It is taking place in the Virtual Auditorium at Virtual LegalTech on September 23rd, from 4:00 – 5:00 pm ET. 
Among some of the questions being addressed: 
- Are social media sites discoverable?
- Should your organization be saving every "tweet" and web-page?
- What is reasonable and what could you be held accountable for?
- Can technology help manage these potential data sources?
The webinar is sponsored by Autonomy and the participants are: 
*  Jack Halprin, Esq., Vice President, eDiscovery & Compilance, Autonomy
*  Michael E. Lackey, Jr., Partner, Mayer Brown LLP
*  Honorable David J. Waxse, US District Court, District of Kansas
And you can earn free CLE credit. 
The whole Virtual LegalTech experience is helpful:  you can chat with vendors, see product demonstrations, collect information, network with colleagues and get the latest news from the ever-evolving legal industry. 
Registration is complimentary.  Follow this link to register and mention Priority Code VLSM2 when registering:
