REGISTER FOR THE EVENT As the world reopens, we will be back together in person for the 2021 Georgetown Law Advanced eDiscovery Institute. Now in its 18th year, join The Georgetown Office of Executive and Continuing Legal Education in Washington, DC to make connections and explore cutting-edge content in technology, eDiscovery, privacy, cross-border discovery and data protection, and cybersecurity. We will hear from thought leaders from Fortune 500 corporations, high-profile plaintiffs’ law firms, and Am Law 100 firms, as well as prominent federal judges experienced in addressing technology issues in civil and criminal cases. Featuring a keynote by the General Counsel of Facebook, and judges’ panels styled as Case Law Update and Discovery Judge Tank, the program is full of insights you don’t want to miss. Network in person with your colleagues and connect with sponsors who will be showcasing the latest eDiscovery services and products.

The conference agenda includes advanced sessions on: 

  • Using contemporary sources of data (CCTV, GPS, audio and video recordings, cell phone data, and social media) to direct a litigation strategy and present a compelling narrative at trial
  • Advocating for your client while managing conflicting multi-party discovery priorities in high-exposure and complex MDL, class, and collective actions
  • Developing strategies to mitigate the legal and privacy risks and costs of data migrations and integrations, and to defensibly disposition stale data
  • Adapting workflows built around “custodial” identification and negotiation as enterprises shift to collaborative platforms and apps
  • Frankly discussing, using a panel of anonymous avatars, how outside counsel, vendors, and experts can win – or lose – the trust of their business clients
  • Dissecting the ethical issues implicated by remote work, remote collections, and remote review engendered by the post-COVID remote workplace

Please note that space is limited at this year’s Institute. Register early to reserve your spot!

  • Earn up to 11.0 CLE credit hours (based on a 60-minute credit hour), including 1.0 hours of Ethics
  • Earn up to 13.2 CLE credit hours (based on a 50-minute credit hour), including 1.2 hours of Ethics
