    The Kansas Paralegal Association is hosting a CLE Lunch-N-Learn through Zoom on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm CST.


    TOPIC OVERVIEW: Our guest speaker, Peyton B. Engel with Hurley Burish, S.C. will be presenting on the topic: Diving Deeper into Digital Evidence.


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OVERVIEW: 

    Every case involves digital evidence to one degree or another, but much of the time we treat electronic documents as being equivalent to their paper counterparts.  There are fundamental differences, and they have implications for the way we collect evidence, how we analyze it, how we should handle it, and how we can use it in court. 

    This talk will focus on the technology of digital evidence, and the implications it has for us as members of the legal profession.  Topics covered will include:

    • The life-cycle of digital evidence from collection to disposal
    • Technical wrinkles: recovery of deleted items, mobile device forensics, metadata, etc.
    • What do the rules of professional conduct permit, and what do they prohibit, with respect to digital evidence
    • Digital evidence in the courtroom: authentication, business records, and other open issues

    This is not another e-discovery product demonstration or discussion of how AI will transform the legal field: it’s practical guidance to make those who work with digital evidence more effective, whether in criminal, civil, or in-house roles.

    Peyton B. Engel is an attorney with Hurley Burish, S.C., in Madison, WisconsinPeyton helps individuals and businesses with civil litigation, represents licensed professionals including attorneys in disciplinary matters, and provides consulting and expert witness services in matters where digital evidence is at issue.

    The Kansas Paralegal Association is hosting a CLE Lunch-N-Learn through Zoom on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm CST.


    TOPIC OVERVIEW: Our guest speaker, Christopher R. Drahozal with University of Kansas School of Law will be presenting on the topic: What is Arbitration? Legal Principles and Common Misperceptions.


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OVERVIEW: 

    Arbitration (private judging) is an important alternative means of resolving disputes between businesses and between businesses and consumers or employees. The presentation will provide an overview of the legal principles governing arbitration in the United States and of empirical evidence on the practice of arbitration, particularly in consumer disputes. It will (1) compare arbitration and litigation;    (2) discuss legal issues raised in determining the enforceability of arbitration agreements and awards; and (3) challenge some common misperceptions about the use of arbitration to resolve disputes between businesses and consumers or employees.


    SPEAKER BIO:

    Christopher R. Drahozal is the John M. Rounds Professor of Law at the University of Kansas School of Law. He was an Associate Reporter for the Restatement of the U.S. Law on International Commercial and Investor-State Arbitration, and served as a Special Advisor to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on the use of arbitration clauses in consumer financial services contracts. Prior to teaching, Professor Drahozal was in private law practice in Washington, D.C., and served as a law clerk for the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal, the United States Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
