SUMMARY:eDiscovery for the Non-Legal Professional
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital world\, almost everything leaves an electronic footprint.  This allows for attorneys in litigation to dig through more evidence than ever\, known as eDiscovery.  \n\n\n\nBecause of how rapidly technology develops\, non-legal professionals should be aware of the nuances of eDiscovery to help their clients.  An overview of eDiscovery will be presented wth a short scenario to illustrate how eDiscovery works in litigation. \n\n\n\n\nChristine Stansall began her legal career after graduating from UC San Diego and obtaining her paralegal certificate from University of San Diego’s ABA-approved program in 1995.

In 2015\, she earned the title of ACEDS Fellow from the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists program through UC Irvine’s E-Discovery program\, then followed up with the CEDS credential in 2017. Currently\, she is the Litigation Support Analyst at Procopio\, Cory\, Hargreaves & Savitch where she assists the legal teams in every phase of litigation\, from legal holds\, collections\, early case assessments\, document review\, productions\, motions practice\, to trial presentations.

She is on the advisory board for the UC San Diego Extension’s E-Discovery and Litigation Technology program.
