Litigators Forum: Tech Matters -- The Convergence of the E-Revolution and Your Litigation Practice

Presented by Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles (WLALA)

Continuing a yearly tradition of outstanding programs, WLALA is pleased to announce the 2010 Annual Litigator's Forum. The 2010 Litigator's Forum will focus on two of the most current issues in the law today:

• The effect of technology on the law, and
• The merger of law and technology, on both a substantive and practical level.

The expert panelists will discuss legal developments triggered by technology as well as ethical issues brought to the fore by technology and "New Media." In addition, an interactive panel will explore the technological resources available to litigators to maximize their effectiveness in the courtroom.

The event will feature Sharon Barner as the keynote speaker, and MCLE credit will be available. Ms. Barner is the Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

JAMS speaker, The Hon. Stephen E. Haberfeld (Ret.), will address how technology is shaping the practice of litigators. Some of the issues that will be covered include the California E-Discovery Act, ethical implications triggered by the Act, and technological advancements.
