Gain an understanding of preservation of confidential evidence and avoiding ethical issues.
Today technology increases at an exponentially lightning pace. Just 15 to 20 years ago we were barely getting used to having a web site or email; now almost everything is geared towards the Internet, the fax machine is almost obsolete, and "scanning and email" from our phones has taken its place. But in our fast paced lifestyle attorneys should not forget that despite the convenience of modern technology, the ethical rules, and state and federal laws, still govern the use and preservation of documents. This information will help guide attorneys and other legal professionals through the maze of issues in the 21st Century regarding the preservation of confidential evidence, documents, and avoiding issues related to document theft and spoliation of evidence. This information is critical for any attorney or professional concerned about the risks of the loss or destruction of evidence.
