NLADA's Litigation and Advocacy Directors' Conference is a national gathering of experienced advocacy leaders designed to foster peer interaction and learning on the most important litigation and other strategic advocacy issues affecting legal aid programs and the communities they serve.

WilmerHale Counsel Skye Perryman will be a featured panelist for the session entitled “E-Discovery as a Shield and Sword: Leveraging Savvy Strategies for Your Clients and Implementing Best Practices.”

E-discovery can be a powerful tool for attorneys who work in legal aid organizations and other public interest areas. This program will feature a panel discussion on emerging e-discovery issues, including best practices and strategies for harnessing e-discovery as a tool in litigation and other advocacy. The program will outline recent legal developments in federal and state court practice with respect to discovery issues and panelists will discuss ways to use discovery strategies effectively in litigation. Topics that will be covered include ways in which organizations with limited resources can seek electronic discovery, review electronic documents, avoid common pitfalls and shenanigans, and employ technology to effectively represent clients given the implications of social media, text messages, and other forms of electronic communications.
