Session Type: Morning Seminar
This seminar will include practical tips on what to do if your institution receives a request to produce electronic documents or data both before and during litigation, as well as strategies for making responses to such requests efficient and productive. It will include a discussion of the new federal regulations on electronic documents in litigation, cover important steps administrators must take to protect confidential documents and privileged communications with counsel, and review the institution's obligations to protect the privacy of sensitive data in electronic documents and databases.
The seminar will also address basic principles for establishing and implementing effective and legally compliant record retention and destruction policies for electronic documents and data. We will draw on the experiences of a large public university system in implementing electronic records policies and in managing electronically stored information in the context of litigation, including the Google Print Project copyright litigation.
