EnCase eDiscovery Forensic Training

This hands-on course addresses the rapidly increasing need for electronic discovery in the corporate arena. Today’s business litigation almost always involves some form of electronic evidence discovery (eDiscovery). In many cases electronic mail, documents or other digital files are the clearest forms of evidence. This course provides instruction on using EnCase eDiscovery and EnCase® Legal Hold to efficiently gather and process electronic data.

THIS COURSE FOCUSES SPECIFICALLY ON GUIDANCE SOFTWARE'S eDISCOVERY SUITE. THE CLASS IS ONLY RELEVANT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN THIS SUITE OR ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING PURCHASING IT.
