K&F Founder Presents Using Keyword Search Terms

ATLANTA, Ga.--K&F Founder Greg Fordham will present Using Keyword Search Terms in E-Discovery to legal professionals in January and February 2010.

On January 14, 2010 Mr. Fordham will present to professionals at the Institute for Paralegal Education (IPE) through a 90 minute telecast. The webinar is offered nationwide. Interested parties can register on the IPE website under Course 52246T.

On February 11, 2010 Mr. Fordham will make a similar presentation to legal professionals at the National Business Institute (NBI). That presentation is also offered through a nationwide telecast. Interested parties can register on the NBI website under Course 52443ER.

Both presentations are based on Mr. Fordham's article "Using Keyword Search Terms in E-discovery and Issues Related to Responsiveness, Privilege, Evidence Standards and Rube Goldberg" that was published in the Annual E-Discovery Issue of the Richmong Journal of Law and Technology (JOLT) in April 2009.

Proficiency in computerized search techniques is increasingly important as e-discovery becomes more commonplace and subject to greater and greater cost constraints. Since attorney review is the most expensive part of conducting e-discovery, the use of computerized search techniques are essential in reducing e-discovery costs.

In addition, the presentation details how the adequacy of the search protocol can determine whether privilege was waived in the event of an inadvertent disclosure.
