Dear EDRM Community,
The phrase of the week is three-year hug.
Labor, university and even the Philharmonic moved Israel to pause Judicial Reform. Tornados ripped throughthe southern US. Gordon Moore, who coined Moore’s law to predict the expanded capacity of computing power, passed this week.
In legal tech this week, we mourn the loss of the late Federal Magistrate Judge David J. Waxse, someone we looked forward to seeing at many Legalweeks past.
In legal tech this week, EDRM mourns the loss of the late Federal Magistrate Judge David J. Waxse, someone we looked forward to seeing at many Legalweeks past. Rob Robinson has opened his Spring 2023 eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey to measure our relative business sentiment as we head into Q2 of 2023. Shela Grela surveyed the landscape of Online Dispute Resolution for the ABA. Stretching Generative AI, Ralph Losey offers Ten Ways LLM Models Like ChatGPT Can Help an Attorney.
It was so good to see everyone at Legalweek for the three-year hug! EDRM kicked off Legalweek with key stakeholder briefings, hosting a reception for our EDRM Support gathering, the return of the EDRM Blogger Luncheon sponsored by our Trusted Partner, Relativity, whose own David Horrigan hosted. We cohosted a wonderful reception with our Trusted Partner, Ankura and participated in an experiment with Valerie Chan’s Plat4orm on marketing to our multidisciplinary and persona filled community.
