A reception immediately following the event will be held in the Bernstein Gallery.

Federal and State courts routinely face issues involving preservation and discovery of electronically stored information, as well as issues arising out of spoliation and admissibility of ESI. This presentation is an introduction to what the courts are doing.

He now consults on electronic discovery and records management and has served as an arbitrator, mediator and special master. Ron is a member of The Sedona Conference and is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center.

This event is free and open to the public.
