Doug Micko Presents CLE to Hennepin County Bar Association on Spoliation and Preservation of Evidence

On October 4, 2016, Teske Katz Kitzer & Rochel attorney Doug Micko was part of a panel presentation on spoliation of evidence, sponsored by the Hennepin County Bar Association’s Labor & Employment Law Section. The program, entitled, “Spoliation of Evidence: Knowing and Avoiding the Pitfalls,” focused on parties’ obligations to safekeep information for litigation. “Spoliation—destruction of evidence—is becoming more and more of an issue, especially with so much evidence taking electronic forms through text messages and emails these days,” said Micko, “and it’s not an easy road to navigate because the law is quickly changing in this area.” Micko added, “This can be especially true in employment law cases, where witnesses might text critical information back and forth.” Micko was joined on the panel by Elizabeth Gerling, which was moderated by Areti Georgopolous.
