LegalTech 2008
Legal Tech 2008 starts today in New York City and looks to be not only an opportunity to meet and assess vendors of e-discovery and related information technology services but also a veritable clearinghouse of helpful information on e-discovery issues. The schedule this year includes several interesting - and, doubtless, highly informative - panel presentations on key legal and technological issues relevant to e-discovery, including:
- best practices for data storage, retention, identification, retrieval and review;
- privilege issues particular to electronically-stored information;
- issues implicated by offshore outsourcing of ESI review, including international ediscovery rules and standards;
- readiness and strategic planning;
- choosing an e-discovery platform;
- cost management; and
- particular evidentiary issues raised by ESI.
If you can't make New York in February (brrrrr), Legal Tech arrives in Los Angeles June 26-27, 2008.
