Program Overview
SESSION 1: California’s New E-Discovery Rules vs. The FRCP (1 MCLE Credit)
The drafters of the new rules enacted in California stated that they were modeled after the FRCP e-discovery provisions. But differences do exist. Whether these will turn out to be distinctions without a practical difference remains to be seen. What is clear at this point is that California practitioners and their clients need to be aware of and plan ahead to comply with the requirements of both the state and Federal rules.
SESSION 2: Litigation and E-Discovery Strategies: Meet & Confer Best Practices (1 MCLE Credit)

This panel discussion will focus on best practices for managing complex, document-intensive discovery matters such as patent litigation and investigations by following a basic workflow and identifying the key decision points and budget considerations throughout the entire e-discovery process.
