Dear EDRM Community,
The word of the week is safer.
After demonstrations by gun safety advocates, a bipartisan group of senators announced a framework they believe will withstand a filibuster. Microsoft announced they have ended noncompetes and nondisclosures and will commission and publish the results of a third-party civil rights audit toward creating a more collegial work environment. Even as a Google data scientist was sidelined for wondering in public about a particular algorithm becoming sentient, Georgia Tech scientists are training robots to mimic the fluid motions of humans to create graffiti.
In legal tech this week, the Supreme Court settled a circuit split on international arbitrations and evidence gathering.
While recording a podcast with MLA’s Mark Yacano, Gunster’s Christine Payne invited our EDRM community to participate in a ground breaking survey on mental health in eDiscovery:
EDRM extends our gratitude to Andrew Haslam for his decade of stewardship of the eDisclosure Buyers Guide, and extends our congratulations to ComplexDiscovery’s Rob Robinson, Andrew’s chosen successor.
Ralph Losey continues his three-part series on Robophobia, looking closely at the point where machines will have a clear advantage for safety and efficiency and how or whether to address human foot dragging in adoption.

Our eDiscovery family gathered in our second event in New York, with EDRM Global Advisory Council leaders the Hon. Ron Hedges, Nikolai Pozdniakov and Dr. Maura R. Grossman. EDRM supporters Jen Roberts and Carolee Byerley trekked from DC and Zoya Gorbachova from Toronto. The warmth in the room began at the plated lunch and ended at the lively reception, both held in the atrium for optimum ventilation.
