About This Course
Online misconduct is on the rise and with it the claims against such behavior. This CLE course will explain how to pursue claims of misconduct including acquiring relevant information from service providers, the type of information to look for and perhaps most importantly, the time you have to obtain such information on behalf of a client.
The course will delve into the way document retention policies have been altered by digital information and what to do when a litigant hasn’t preserved electronically stored information that may be critical.
