Weekly Letter to Our Global Community – 21 Jun 22

Dear EDRM Community,

EDRM Weekly Letter to our Global Community

The word of the week is enlivened

Before the summer solstice, Spain and France join the US Western states in battling drought encouraged wildfires.  Barristers representing criminal defendants went on strike in London.  And a hack on the blockchain has gone unanswered.

EDRM thanks our Trusted Partner, Everlaw, and especially Joan Davis and Chuck Kellner, for co-creating a COVID safer human scale event.

In legal tech this week, we’ll take a measure of our sector’s economic sentiment with ComplexDiscovery’s Quarterly Business Confidence Survey.  EDRM’s IGRM Project Trustee, Eric Mandel, looks at the difficulty in establishing sanctions through the lens of U,S, District Judge Iain Johnson’s opinion in Hollis v. CEVA Logistics U.S., Inc. (N.D. Ill., May 19, 2022)..  Ralph Losey looks closely at a request for cloud and cell phone data in a high profile criminal case.

EDRM Guardian Plus Partner, Everlaw, and EDRM are #WheelsDown completing our three week, three city roadshow featuring Dr. Maura R. Grossman, Chuck Kellner and Mary Mack.

Our eDiscovery family gathered in our third and final event in Beverly Hills, with EDRM Global Advisory Council leaders Shannon Bales, Sheila Grela and Dr. Maura R. Grossman.  EDRM supporters Joy Murao, Cynthia Montoya, Lisa Clark and Don Swanson celebrated mightily.The plated lunch was punctuated by gleeful hugs leading into an afternoon of education, culminating in a fireside chat between the great Chuck Kellner and the star of TAR, Dr. Maura Grossman.  The fireside chat preceded a splendid indoor/outdoor reception.  EDRM thanks our Trusted Partner, Everlaw, and especially Joan Davis and Chuck Kellner, for co-creating a COVID safer human scale event.
