More Information on the 

Digital Discovery CLE Offering

At 12:30 pm EST on April 23^rd, we will begin the interactive CLE offering webcast in realtime to all registered participants. 

 §        April 23:  Following an introduction by Professor Nesson, you will be presented with a specifically-tailored series of questions to which you will be able to respond in writing.  Professor Nesson and the course Teaching Assistants will read your replies as you submit them online.  Professor Nesson will then give a brief summary of the issues to prepare you for an online Socratic discussion.  You and a small number of fellow participants will then engage in an online discussion of the issues.  Teaching Assistants will moderate the conversation and, to facilitate serious conversation, will occasionally call on you to express your ideas or to clarify interesting points.  Professor Nesson will then present another series of questions, following which you will again enter into Socratic dialogue.  After thinking through these issues together, Professor Nesson will wrap up the first session and set the stage for the intervening week.

§         Between April 23 and April 30:  Based on your replies, Professor Nesson will present you with two further questions about digital discovery.  You will write a short (approximately 1 page) reply that will be sent to the teaching staff.  Professor Nesson and a teaching assistant will read and respond to your ideas. 

§         April 30:  Using a variety of web-based interactive tools, Professor Nesson will highlight and discuss some of the more thought-provoking and controversial issues touched upon in the first session, followed by a review of the legal issues and assessments of the state of the law.
