The protective order is not just something you ask for, well I guess you could but to get a blanket order without very specific language would be shooting yourself in the foot. It is best to have a previously battle tested order that is worded to cover any possible problems that could arise.
Armsel,
Any courses your seminars you can recommend or know of to compliment computer forensics with some legal training to address such situations.
None is specific but try taking some CLE courses at the local Bar association or some of these Sarbanes type seminars that show up. While they wont address CP they do address lots of issues where you will find yourself needing that info down the line.
The motions and orders are something you just have to either know about or get samples and take something from this one and something from that one. For not being an Attorney I have gotten pretty good at drafting motions, it will also help you if you have an attorney friend who you can call and bounce things off of (not literally) -) Think of how to cover yourself from every way possible, receiving, storage, examination, return, etc. and run with it from there.
Think of this too you will need to offer language to attorneys who hire you in order for discovery issues so learning how to draft them will help you out in the long run. DC has a bunch of seminars about electronic discovery and really neat alphabet named streets like Disney Land.
If I can help you please let me know.
I have been pondering for sometime now about taking the Kroll's e-discovery certification course in MN at their headquaters. I'll have to call an see what the course covers in regards to forensic discovery. I am sure it is centric to e-discovery for litigations, but I am sure they have to talk about the unexpected content that is discovered sometimes during discovery.
I'll follow up with a post.
Arashiryu, you may want to go online and look at the curriculm for many of the Masters programs etc. that different Universities and collegs offer. I see you are in Pa. Perhaps you are near one of these colleges that you can not only see what they suggest but perhaps you can contact the professor and see if you can sit in on the classes. If anything they should be able to direct you to training that is geared towards the legal questions of forensics.
