Speaker:
Jack Halprin, Esq.
VP of eDiscovery and Compliance Autonomy
Best practices and technology for eDiscovery are rapidly advancing. What was state of the art yesterday may no longer be a defensible process today. At the same time, both corporate and outside counsel are dealing with increasing volumes of data, rising litigation costs and shrinking budgets.
The challenge is to manage eDiscovery in a cost-effective and defensible process that will avoid sanctions and meet the ever evolving standard of reasonableness.

Feb 24/Seattle: Information Technology Act of India

This presentation will discuss the impact of these amendments on U.S. companies that are conducting business in India.
Attendees at this interesting CLE will gain an understanding of the following:

Jun 10/Chicago, IL: ABA Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress Free CLE Program
If you will be in Chicago for the American Bar Association's Annual Meeting please join The ABA Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress for a free CLE Program.
Friday, July 31, 2009
9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
InterContinental, Burnham Room, 8th Floor
505 North Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL
In a world that is linked together through increasingly numerous and complex transactions, access to reliable, quality texts of laws, regulations and court opinions is essential. There can be no substitute for the words of lawmakers and judges.
Given the vast availability of online legal resources, how easy is it to determine what constitutes a reliable source of information? How does one know when the law is the law that it purports to be? And why does it matter?
This panel will address these issues in part by describing an effort designed to provide access to the official and authentic legal texts from around the world known as the Global Legal Information Network (GLIN). The standards developed for this global legal information system are equally applicable to U.S. federal and state online primary legal resources. The results of a survey conducted by the American Association of Law Libraries finds that online primary legal resources for U.S. states currently cannot be considered trustworthy. Finally, the critical need for access to trustworthy legal access in the context of Rule of Law efforts, legislative strengthening programs, and legal/judicial reform projects will also be discussed.
