NYC, - Lawline.com, a leading online broadcaster of law-related educational programming, will produce a series of online expert interviews on the discovery of computer-based evidence in civil litigation.

The programs will be available to all federal judges as well as to all lawyers and to the public on Lawline.com (www.lawline.com). The audio programs will also be made available by the Federal Judicial Center (FJC) in Washington DC, the research and education agency of the United States Courts, to members of the federal judiciary, and to federal court staff.

Ken Withers, a research associate at the FJC and an expert on computer-based (also called "electronic" or "digital") discovery, will host a series of six half-hour programs; Ron Diorio of Lawline.com will serve as executive producer. Each discovery program, beginning July 5, will cover a relevant issue in this emerging field with a guest judge, attorney, or technology expert. Topics will range from "Computer-Based Discovery: A View From the Bench" and "Email and Internet Use in Employment Litigation" to "An Ounce of Prevention: Electronic Records Management."

Significant legal cases involving computer-based discovery will be cited, with links to relevant sections of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and other background resources available online.
