SUMMARY:Requesting\, Obtaining and Using Machine-Generated Evidence
DESCRIPTION:Evidence about a defendant’s computer systems used in decision making or error checking can be critical to proving liability and a common course of conduct in many consumer class actions. However\, because the operation of these systems reflects processes rather than simple documents\, obtaining these materials in discovery and using them at trial can present unique challenges. The advent of generative AI also presents novel difficulties in both accessing and using such materials. \nPlease note that after the webinar has concluded\, NACA will stop the recording and will host a short 30-minute listening session to get your input on what type of education you would like on  AI. \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n• How to target and tailor your systems-related requests\n• How to use ESI orders to ensure you get the materials in the form and format you need\n• How to use discovery procedures efficiently and effectively in getting that production or testimony and how to admit and use those materials at trial \n\nSpeakers\nDavid Nagdeman is a partner at Langer\, Grogan & Diver P.C. in Philadelphia which focuses on class action litigation in consumer protection\, antitrust\, and economic justice matters. He focuses his practice on consumer protection issues\, especially complex financial frauds involving predatory lending. He is also an adjunct professor of remedies at Temple University Beasley School of Law. \nRyan Gott is an attorney at Pearson Warshaw LLP in the Minneapolis office with a practice focused on consumer protection\, data privacy & security\, false advertising\, product liability and predatory lending matters including those involving the Military Lending Act (“MLA”) and the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”). In the litigation and maintenance of two of the largest data breach MDLs in the country\, In Re: Change Healthcare\, Inc. Customer Data Security Litig. and In re: MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litig.\, Ryan is tasked with dispositive motion briefing\, plaintiff vetting and ESI preservation coordination\, offensive\, non-party and expert discovery and depositions. Ryan is an active member of Electronic Document Retention and Production Working Group of The Sedona Conference\, which seeks to develop principles\, guidance and best practice recommendations for information governance and electronic discovery. Ryan also serves on multiple Public Justice committees including the Access to Justice Task Force and the Class Action Preservation Project Task Force. \n\nRegistration \nPlease note that the live webinar is free to NACA members.

SUMMARY:FTC’s Preservation of Consumers’ Claims and Defenses Rule (aka the “Holder Rule”)
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes misunderstood\, and often mislabeled as the “Holder Rule”\, the FTC’s Preservation of Consumers’ Claims and Defenses Rule is an important tool in consumer lawyers’ toolbox. \nIn the bad old days\, a creditor who was a “holder in due course” could insulate themselves from any responsibility for what a seller did wrong. This rule changed that. Now\, in consumer transactions\, creditors and assignees can often be held responsible for seller’s wrongs under this Anti-Holder Rule. \nThe Holder Rule is an excellent law to use in many finance fraud cases and is a must know for every auto fraud and solar fraud practitioner. \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n• When the rule applies\n• How the rule can be used defensively against creditors’ claims\n• How the rule be used to recover money from a creditor\n• What are the limits to the rule \n\nSpeakers \nA. Lorraine Weekes is a consumer protection attorney at Kneupper & Covey PC whose practice includes both class actions and individual litigation and arbitration proceedings on behalf of consumers ripped off by banks\, solar lenders and installers\, and other miscreant business. She graduated from Stanford Law School in 2016. \nGregory S. Reichenbach is a trial attorney representing primarily poor and working-class Ohio consumers. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Toledo\, College of Law\, in 2004. He focuses on litigation of individual and class claims against car dealers\, financial institutions\, and debt collectors\, focusing on repossessions\, used car sales fraud\, and unfair debt collection. He has written articles for the public and regularly presents at trainings for Ohio attorneys on topics including litigating consumer claims and defending collection suits. He was the 2026 recipient of the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation’s Elam Pro Bono award for his work including training legal aid attorneys. \n\nRegistration \nPlease note that the live webinar is free to NACA members.
