Establishing Your Data Retention Plan
Federal Rules Regarding Electronic Retention

On December 1, 2006, the United States Supreme Court amended the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to deal with the issue of electronic discovery. Although these news rules do not drastically change your existing obligations under prior federal law regarding electronic discovery, they did put into place specific procedures for the discovery of electronic evidence, such as e-mail.

The rules also, for the first time, explicitly recognize "electronically stored information," and provide for a safe harbor if data is lost by the routine, good faith operation of an electronic information system. In order to take advantage of these new rules, you should have in place a written policy that not only deals with document retention, but also with the proper procedures to cease the destruction of relevant electronic data if you are sued, or are on notice that you may be sued.

CPR, Inc. in partnership with Warner Norcross & Judd LLP is hosting an informational seminar to help outline the rules and regulations and assist companies in establishing the next steps in their electronic data retention plan. In addition, CPR will provide an outline on how your organization’s IT department can build the most affordable solution for the storage and organization of your data.
