The Tenth Annual eDiscovery Training Academy at Georgetown Law is Next Month: eDiscovery Best Practices
I’ve been remiss in not covering this before now, but the 10th Annual eDiscovery Training Academy will be coming up in a couple of weeks at the Georgetown University Law Center. If you want a really in-depth training course with highly respected and knowledgeable instructors, this is as good a course as there is.
This year’s academy begins on Sunday, June 4, goes through Friday, June 9 and is designed to “fully immerse you in the subject of eDiscovery”. It features a highly personalized and interactive instructional approach designed to foster an intense connection among students, and one “where you will be essentially an apprentice: observing closely, questioning thoroughly, and intimately understanding the approach and knowledge of experts in the craft.” Those experts are a renowned faculty including Craig D. Ball, Maura R. Grossman, Thomas O’Connor, and Mark S. Sidoti. Retired Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola will also provide additional guidance from a judicial and pragmatic point of view.
The program includes hands-on practice with tools and data at your computer, organized into exercises designed to help you become more comfortable and adept with both the fundamentals and intricacies of ESI. And, you will learn about and discuss legal issues and concepts, including technology-assisted review, quality assurance, sampling, “legal hold” analysis, the use of Federal Rule of Evidence 502 to minimize the risks of inadvertent disclosure, attorney-client privilege, work product and limitations on waiver, and analyses of cost allocation, proportionality, and “not reasonably accessible” issues.
If you’re in big need of CLE credit hours, you get 26 credit hours (31.2, if your state uses a 50 minute credit hour), which includes 1.2 hours of ethics credit. Georgetown Law is an accredited CLE provider in most MCLE states.
