Legal Track
Given the new U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, possible
changes in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the increasing emphasis on
e-discovery, this year's conference offers a full agenda of legal
and compliance education. The two-day legal pre-conference covers
ethics, conflicts of interest, and records management, primarily in law
firms. Sunday--Wednesday's education sessions include such topics
as electronic evidence collection, litigation readiness, legal holds,
personal data security, SOX-compliant retention, records
management's role at the counsel table, a mock trial, and a
mini-Sedona conference. Lawyer or not, these sessions will help you
understand and prepare for these issues.
