Presenters: Peter Edelmann and Henry Waldock
Venue: Langara College Vancouver Main Campus, 49th Avenue and Cambie Street, Vancouver
Time: 2:00PM - 4:00PM

Have you ever wondered what a lawyer wants in digital evidence? How do the requirements differ between the Criminal and Civil courts? Can your IT department or senior managers legally eavesdrop on your employees, or are there issues with reasonable expectations of privacy? What steps are lawful or unlawful in defending corporate data assets? Are honeypot's lawful?

Join Peter Edelmann and Henry Waldock, two experienced British Columbia lawyers who will lead a Q & A style discussion on a wide range of legal issues and topics, past, present, and future. Have a specific question or concern? Please send them to secsigwg@yahoogroups.com prior to the meeting, or bring them to the session and the presenters will be happy to try and address them.

Henry Waldock is a trial lawyer for Crown Counsel in Chilliwack BC, and has practiced law since 1990.
