Description
The California Bar’s Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct recently issued a much-awaited opinion on the ethical obligations of lawyers in the handling of discovery of electronically stored information (ESI). Most litigators already know that electronic discovery is the most important kind of discovery in big and small cases. Learn from the best how this opinion effects your obligations under:
- The duty of competence

The duty to competently manage subordinates, contractors, and clients
-
The duty of confidentiality
You will also learn how courts have already begun to use this opinion to determine spoliation sanctions.
