About This Course

Technology continues to become more prevalent in our lives. As a result, the volume of data we receive and retain is growing exponentially. Whether personal or business-related, all this data sits at our fingertips—waiting to be discovered.

When an eDiscovery matter arises, the sheer volume of information can make it difficult to find the true “treasure.” In fact, studies have shown that up to 85% of corporate data is “dark data”—or Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial (ROT) data.*

In this session led by the team at NearZero Discovery, you’ll explore key principles and processes related to eDiscovery, including:

  • Ethics and privacy concerns in data collection and processing (PIPEDA, GDPR, and international regulations).
  • How to locate dark/ROT data within: Document management systems; Network-based document repositories; Smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops.
  • Tips for email review and analysis.
  • The importance of collaborating with a corporation’s litigation response team.
  • Recent industry highlights in AI and automation.

Agenda

  • Ethics in Data Collection and Processing - Privacy / GDPR / Global regulatory considerations.
  • Management & Technology in Legal Practice: Security of information; Productivity and efficiency; Best practices for analyzing ethical dilemmas.

For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community. To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
