Electronic discovery - which many consider the only real document discovery there is now - is quickly becoming an important focus for ethical concerns. The skill sets needed to afford clients "competent representation" in an electronic environment are changing. Even a well-meaning attorney may not understand that every-day actions like sending an email, opening a document, using a software application, or hiring a consultant might have ethical implications. In addition, the standards of conduct vary from state to state. While there may not be a uniform set of rules governing these emerging practice concerns, every attorney should take note that missteps can be avoided with proper guidance.

While we cannot possibly cover all of the professional responsibility concerns surrounding e-discovery, our distinguished panel will provide an exciting hour of interaction where the audience will participate through instant votes, practical scenarios, and a question and answer period. Finally, everyone who registers for the webinar will receive a set of materials including the court decisions, ethics rulings, and rules discussed.

The webinar will address the following issues:

- What does it mean to be "competent" in today's practice of law?
- The confidentiality of attorney-client email communications
- Metadata "mining" and conflicting ethics opinions
- Relationship between in-house and outside counsel in e-discovery
- E-Discovery consultants and the unauthorized practice of law
- The "E-Discovery Sanctions Cube"
