SPEAKER: So we're about ready to get started. Well, this has been a great day, and we've had some great speakers. But in many respects, we've saved the best for last. At a class action litigation conference the last word really should be from a judge, because all of the cases and everything that we do really is determined by the judge in the case. And in the area of data privacy class action litigation, there's really no better judge to speak to ...

IAN BALLON: So our next panel is Best Practices in a Changing Data Privacy Landscape.

Great. And we've got four experts in this area for ...

IAN BALLON: Welcome back. The next two segments are going to be combined into one. They're both presentations dealing with defense perspectives. The first part is case law and trends from a defense perspective, and the second part is the in-house counsel panel. But we thought it actually would be interesting to combine the two. So we're going to talk about the cases and the trends and intersperse the presentation with panel discussions. And for the ...
