The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended on December 1, 2006, to include new provisions on the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI). After providing a summary of these rules, the January 9 EDUCAUSE Live!, with M. Peter Adler, President of AIPG LLC and Interim Director of Privacy and Security Policy at Montgomery College in Maryland, will focus on steps that universities and colleges can take to manage ESI, including reasonable accessibility rules, privilege and waiver considerations, the duty to preserve electronic evidence, litigation holds, and the elements of an ESI retention and destruction program. Those unable to tune in may visit the archives after the event to hear a recording of the seminar. Peruse EDUCAUSE resources on ESI and E-Discovery.
