This training session aims to provide an introductory understanding of litigation hold policies for public agencies. Litigation hold refers to the process of preserving and safeguarding potentially relevant electronic and physical records when litigation is reasonably anticipated or initiated. As public agencies often deal with a variety of sensitive information, it is crucial to develop a solid litigation hold policy to ensure compliance and minimize legal risks.
