Description:
Electronic communication, storage and transfer devices have captured the world and the workplace along with it. The use of
these new technologies has raised a host of new legal issues both for society at large as well as in the employer-employee
relationship.
These electronic devices — ranging from simple cellphones and camera phones to E-mail systems to personal data assistants
(PDAs) and to iPods — each raise a number of unique issues.
The meteoric expansion of the “new media” uses for these devices — from basic Internet and E-mail use to “texting” to “blogging,”
and “vlogging” — has changed the way we communicate and store and transfer electronic data, both internally within our workplaces
and externally with the business customers we serve.
Morrison & Foerster LLP will host a series of briefings to discuss these issues and their impact on employers.
Topics Include:
- Cellphones, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
- WebCams, Camera Phones and Other Photographic Devices
- Blackberries, PDAs, Email, Instant Messaging and Internet Use
- Blogging, Electronic Bulletin Boards, Vlogging and YouTube
- Communications Decency Act
- Human Tracking Devices (GPS and RFID)
- Storage Devices (Flash sticks and hard drives)
- Data Security Breaches
- Implications for E-Discovery
