PROGRAM OVERVIEW
2010 is the Year of the Legal Hold
This has been a watershed year for cases involving legal holds and the need to preserve responsive electronically stored information (ESI). The Courts have been issuing monetary sanctions and declarations of “gross negligence” in multiple cases.
Hold Fast is a comprehensive review of recent litigation hold cases starting with January’s Pension Committee v. Banc of America Securities, Rimkus v. Cammarata, Crown Castle v. Nudd Corp., Jones v. Bremen HS and other recent cases that are driving the need for making legal holds a priority in any litigation.
- What are the three most common mistakes seen across these cases?
- What are the responsibilities of the in-house counsel and the trial attorney for the preservation process?
- Based on these opinions, what entails “best practices” for legal holds?
This timely program will relate recent case law to the following program topics:
- The duty to preserve;
- Triggering event analysis;
- Preservation strategies;
- Standards for collection;
- Self-collection considerations; and
- Spoliation examples.
