Dearest EDRM Community,

Word of the week: Deepfake

In legal tech last week, the first opinion on deepfakes as evidence did not disappoint: it had terminating sanctions, consideration of a criminal referral, and technical jujitsu to determine lack of authenticity. Judge Shalegel, Doug Austin, and Mike Berman posted on the opinion.

Join us for a live webinar exploring: 5 Unique Challenges in eDiscovery for Construction Litigation (And How to Solve Them) on 16 October 2025, 1PM ET, sponsored by our wonderful Trusted Partner, Nextpoint.
