Electronic information pervades our society. Corporations and other organizations create, store, and utilize
that information in all facets of business. Unfortunately, security can be breached and any breach can lead
to investigations by various government agencies at the federal and State levels. Those investigations may
lead to disputes about scope, variety and volume of electronic information to be produced.
This program will explore the role of electronic information through a hypothetical breach of a corporation’s
information that leads to an investigation. It will focus on the “what, why and how” an investigation is
conducted – from the viewpoint of the investigating agencies and of the corporate representatives charged
with responding to the investigation. The program will then consider a hypothetical class action that
parallels the investigation and how that parallel litigation interacts with the investigation.
