Women in eDiscovery to Host Educational Luncheon at LegalTech West Coast

Women in eDiscovery today announced that it is hosting an educational luncheon at LegalTech West Coast on Thursday, June 25, 2009, at noon, featuring a presentation by Amy Longo, Partner in the Securities Litigation Practice Group and Co-Chair of the Electronic Discovery and Document Retention Practice at O’Melveny & Myers LLP.

Longo’s address is entitled “Breaking the Code: How Changing Technology Impacts Courts' Approaches to Electronic Discovery Disputes.” The federal electronic discovery rules have been widely litigated since their enactment several years ago. As the 2006 Advisory Committee observed, the "rapidity of technological change" necessitates a flexible and evolving approach to ESI. The influence of new technologies and the law's adaptation to these developments are a recurring theme of courts' decisions in this arena. Longo will examine the key areas where advancements in how parties may conduct discovery are playing out in the courts' views on subjects ranging from reasonable accessibility and privilege protection to preservation and the avoidance of sanctions.

Women in eDiscovery is an organization that brings together businesswomen interested in technology related to the legal industry and provides opportunities to help them grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition.

LegalTech West Coast, the most important legal technology event on the West Coast, is June 24-25 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Details of LegalTech West Coast can be found at www.legaltechshow.com.
