SUMMARY:OPA October Free Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma Paralegal Association\n“When Discovery Defiance Persists: Custodians\, Court Orders\, and Sanctions” – Part 2 of a Series\nPart 2 begins after the defense has identified gaps in the plaintiff’s digital record. The harder problem is what happens next: custodians resist\, business communications remain on personal devices and accounts\, explanations shift\, and promised follow-up produces only another partial answer. It is not necessary to have attended Part 1 in order to attend Part 2 and obtain educational value from the program. Using Breaking Code Silence v. McNamara as a case study\, the program examines how a court-ordered ESI plan turned disputed sources and custodians into enforceable obligations. The plaintiff’s reliance on voluntary cooperation did not satisfy the ordered discovery process. Attendees learn how to document refusal\, prove organizational control\, escalate through counsel and the court\, distinguish Rule 37(b) noncompliance from Rule 37(e) loss\, and connect requested expenses to the misconduct that caused them. \nSession Agenda: October-2026-Lunch-Learn-Flyer.png \nLearning Objectives: \n– Paralegals will learn to identify when a plaintiff organization has control over ESI held by officers\, directors\, employees\, volunteers\, or related custodians.\n– Paralegals will learn to build a custodian-escalation process for personal email\, phones\, messaging apps\, cloud accounts\, and decentralized records. Attendees will also learn to translate a court-ordered ESI plan into concrete access\, collection\, validation\, reporting\, and follow-up obligations.\n– Paralegals will learn to document the causal link between the plaintiff’s noncompliance and the conferences\, motions\, subpoenas\, or recovery work it required. \nCLE Hours = 1 Substantive

SUMMARY:Do Not Slack on Preservation: A Playbook for Modern eDiscovery
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: Adam J. Schwartz\, Esq.\, served as a document review and ESI consultant in Breaking Code Silence v. McNamara\, a two-year litigation involving Slack preservation\, collection\, and review. The case underscores the critical role paralegals and litigation-support professionals play in defensible discovery—from mapping systems and tracking custodians to validating exports\, preserving context\, and identifying production gaps. The matter ultimately resulted in dismissal with prejudice and $15\,342 in monetary sanctions related to delayed Slack production. Using the case as a road map\, this session provides a repeatable workflow for preserving\, collecting\, reviewing\, validating\, producing\, documenting\, and escalating Slack data and other modern ESI.\n\nCourse Year: 2026

SUMMARY:AI\, Confidentiality\, UPL\, and the Judgment Calls Nobody Teaches You
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: Ethical problems rarely arrive labeled as ethical problems. They arise when a client asks for advice while the attorney is unavailable\, when confidential information is entered into technology\, when artificial intelligence is used to draft or summarize legal material\, when an attorney asks a paralegal to handle something outside the traditional scope of the role\, or when efficiency conflicts with professional responsibility. Through practical scenarios\, this session examines the increasingly complicated ethical judgment calls experienced paralegals encounter in modern practice.\n\nCourse Year: 2026
