Dearest EDRM Community,

Word of the week: Realignment.

In legal tech last week, EDRM welcomed eDiscovery AI as our newest Trusted Partner as AI dominated case news, tech news, and geopolitics.

EDRM will close for Memorial Day from May 22-28, returning on May 29. Wishing you a wonderful respite, and we will see you next week! Our EDRM Community Support call will continue to be held on Tuesday, now in its 275th gathering.

Mary, Kaylee, and Holley, EDRM.
