I will be participating in a multi-disciplinary panel at the upcoming Information Governance and e-Discovery Seminar hosted on October 2 in Ottawa by the AIIM First Canadian Chapter.  I will provide the records management perspective while Susan Nickle and Chuck Rothman will provide the legal and technological perspectives, respectively.  We will be addressing the following topics:

• Canadian requirements for the admissibility of electronic evidence
• e-Discovery primer and best practices: what records management and IT professionals need to know
  • Information governance best practices to support e-discovery
  • The activities completed at each stage in the e-discovery process (Electronic Discovery Reference Model, www.edrm.net)
  • Canadian vs. US e-discovery practices
  • How to ensure e-discovery remains cost effective through good information governance?
• Canadian case law: what are the courts saying about information governance?
• Litigation readiness: information governance as the foundation for e-discovery
• The team approach: multi-disciplinary approaches to information governance and e-discovery
• Emerging technologies for information governance and e-discovery

Hope to see you there!  If you would like to register please go to this site.  The cost is $35 for AIIM members and $45 for non-members.
