Electronic Evidence - Professional and Ethical Obligations

 

This presentation provides an overview of the issues facing counsel when dealing with legal matters involving electronic evidence. The session is comprised of a presentation and an accompanying Q & A session.

 

The instructor will provide an overview on the sources of law for electronic evidence, professional responsibility and ethics, and legal practice management. The session covers how new technology and innovative methodologies can provide counsel and their clients with proportionate and defensible processes, and reduce costs and risks while increasing client value.

 

The session qualifies for required Law Society of Ontario continuing professional development hours, and can be accredited for professionalism hours in other jurisdictions. We can tailor the length and content of the education presentation to meet your needs.
