ON THE HORIZON

April 4
>> "What can happen when a federal agency wants access to the electronic records of a business entity? What types of information can the agency seek? What limits might there be on what the agency wants? How should the electronic information be produced? What role is there for negotiation in response to demands and what might negotiation address?" Consultant Ronald Hedges, a retired U.S.D.C. magistrate judge (N.J), says those questions will be addressed when the Practicing Law Institute hosts, "Government Investigations 2013: The Role of Electronic Information in Investigation and Response," in New York City, and as a live webcast. Moderator: David Shonka, acting general counsel of the Federal Trade Commission. Among the speakers: Maura Grossman (Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz); U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge John Facciola (D.C.). http://at.law.com/LTNN1.

April 4-5
• University of Florida Levin College of Law and EDRM are offering a two-day event, "E-Discovery for the Small and Medium Case." Reports William Hamilton: "Our conference is for the everyday case, the small and medium case. It is really an outreach program to the bar and litigation support professionals. The idea was initially generated by the new Florida state court e-discovery rules (September 1, 2012) and the new ABA commentary on technological competence," he said.

"Most programs and conferences talk about what to do at a high level that just frustrates the regular attorney who leaves the typical one hour CLE scared and frustrated, but not knowing what to do. So we decided to do an out-reach conference as a public service," said Hamilton, a partner at Quarles & Brady in Tampa, who is an adjunct professor at the UF college of law and dean of academics at Bryan University. http://www.law.ufl.edu/academics/ediscovery-conference.
