Weekly Letter to Our Global Community – 31 May 22

EDRM Global Letter to Our community 31 May 22

Dear EDRM Community,

The word for this week is emerge.  Lithuanian citizens crowdsourced a drone and the winners of Eurovision turned their trophy into $900,000 for another one in support of their neighbor’s resistance to invasion.  In the US, after back-to-back slaughters of shoppers, seniors and fourth graders, conversation has shifted from gun control to gun safety with the opposite poles on the issues moving toward some common ground.

EDRM Guardian Plus Partner, Everlaw, and EDRM are wheels up for our roadshow featuring Maura Grossman, Chuck Kellner and Mary Mack to Chicago, New York and LA starting June 1

In legal tech this week, national privacy legislation may have its moment.  New data sources now include Yubo, a Tinder-like app popular with teens where young people received, but did not believe, messages warning of the killings in Uvalde. Despite Silicon Valley backed layoffs, the candidate’s market in legal is still burning bright but tempered a bit as world economies incorporate inflation, energy and personnel shortages.

EDRM Guardian Plus Partner, Everlaw, and EDRM are wheels up for our  roadshow featuring Maura Grossman, Chuck Kellner and Mary Mack to Chicago, New York and LA starting June 1.  Let us save a seat for you.  Register for the roadshows here.   Read about the CLE’s, networking opportunities and COVID precautions to allow a gentle re-entry into regional conference gatherings with an international flair.

EDRM projects are open to new contributors, please reach out to info@edrm.net to let us know your interest, and we will introduce you to the appropriate Project Trustee.  You can check out EDRM’s project listings here. 

Our Syndicated EDRM Global Podcast Network is available via iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and your favorite podcast app, so you can listen at your leisure.  Kaylee and Mary have our own podcast, the Illumination Zone, joining TAR Talk and Ryan Short’s eDiscovery After Hours podcasts.  Reach out to info@edrm.net to suggest guests, including your own fabulous self.  

Every Tuesday at 6PM Eastern, community members gather via Zoom to offer or request support as we navigate our work and personal challenges.  Email us at info@edrm.net to be included on the group invitation for the support call. Remember, you are not alone, and you are welcome at our events, or to reach out for help.  If you are having a mental health emergency, please consider these resources for professional help.

We welcome your participation in our projects, webinars, support gatherings, and our EDRM Hub, our job board/event/directory website.  There is no charge for these EDRM offerings, thanks to our very generous partners. 

In person!
Mary & Kaylee
