She also trains the company on duties and best practices; advises in-house lawyers and stakeholders on individual eDiscovery matters; and works with vendors to develop business cases for emerging technologies. Hamilton participates in Working Group 6 of The Sedona Conference, which focuses on data privacy and international electronic discovery issues. She also participates in the Corporate eDiscovery Forum and related speaking and benchmarking opportunities.
The June 1st event, designed specifically for litigation support professionals and attorneys from law firms and corporate legal departments, is free to attend, though in keeping with the Masters Conference format, space is limited. The educational event offers CLE credit as well.
The Masters Series for Legal Professionals offers two educational tracks that will be presented by corporate and law firm thought leaders. The first track covers the 7th Circuit Electronic Discovery Pilot Program, records management, e-discovery preparedness and international e-discovery.
