Electronic Discovery, Online Controlled Devices, and Legal Ethics

Laurence Colletti interviews panelists of the incredibly important seminar titled “Electronic Discovery and Digital Evidence: Pre Discovery Through Trial” at The Florida Bar’s 2015 Annual Conference. In the first part of the podcast, he talks with electronic discovery experts John Jorgensen and Steven Teppler about the presentation “The Internet of Things,” and devices controlled online by computer code. They examine issues of hearsay and authentication in cases where these devices malfunction in a harmful way. Explaining technological evidence to a jury or judge can often be the most difficult part of these cases. In the second part of this podcast, Laurence interviews Christian Dodd and Larry Kunin about the merging of technology and legal ethics. They discuss The Florida Bar’s proposed increase in technology CLE requirements, client data stored on printer hard drives, supervising non-lawyer staff, and what is a reasonable level of competence. Most importantly, they emphasize that technology is growing exponentially. As lawyers, if we don’t have a basic understanding now, we are already falling behind. Learn more about your ad choices.
