SAN FRANCISCO -- This April, noted constitutional author and computer forensics expert Frederick Lane will be offering his popular continuing legal education seminar, "Digital Dirt: Computer Forensics for Lawyers," in four California Bay Area locations.
April 8, Lane will speak at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco; April 9 at the W Hotel in Newark; April 13 at the Sheraton Sunnyvale in the town of Sunnyvale; and April 14 at the Portola Hotel & Spa in Monterey.
Certification for six hours of continuing legal education credit, including one hour of ethics credit, is currently pending with the State Bar of California.
Today's digital culture touches every part of our lives, and has found its way into virtually every aspect of legal proceedings. A fundamental understanding of current computer forensics principles has become essential for law enforcement officials, prosecuting and defense attorneys, civil and corporate litigators, family law attorneys, and human resources professionals.
"Digital Dirt" attendees will develop a working understanding of the critical legal issues related to computer forensics, including:
I. Introduction to Computer Concepts and Forensic Terminology (9-10 a.m.)
II. Trends in Data Creation, Storage and Transmission (10:05-11:10 a.m.)
III. Developments in Forensic Hardware and Software (11:15-12:15 p.m.)
Lunch (12:15-1:15pm)
IV. Forensic Search and Seizure: Overview of Procedure and Law (1:15-2:15 p.m.)
V. Recent Federal and State Computer Forensic Decisions [jurisdiction-specific] (2:20-3:20 p.m.)
VI. The Ethics of Electronic Data [one hour Ethics credit] (3:30-4:30 p.m.)

Seminar tuition is $360, and each attendee will receive the following materials and seminar amenities: PDF copy of course handbook on a USB thumb drive; a one-year subscription to "Digital Dirt" newsletter; a one-year subscription to Computer Forensics Digest; and a complimentary continental breakfast and buffet lunch.

Discounts are available for multiple attendees from the same company or law firm, and for low-income attorneys in either public or private practice.
Additional dates are being planned for the summer and fall; if you are not in the Bay Area, please check back regularly to see if a seminar has been scheduled in your city.
