Dearest EDRM Community,

Word of the week: Remembrance

In legal tech last week, our community’s road warriors returned from the CLOC conference, and our EDRM project teams (IGRM and EDRM 2.0) have work being readied for Public Comment.

To those observing Memorial Day, we hope you are finding moments of rest and remembrance. In honor of the holiday, the EDRM team will be away through Tuesday (except for the Community Support Call) and back with you on Wednesday, May 27.

Mark your calendars for next week when Judge Artigliere and his expert panel join us for an important conversation about guardrails for responsible AI use in legal practice: Training Is Not Enough: Guardrails for Responsible AI Use in Legal Practice – 03 June 2026, 1 PM ET.

Mary Mack, CEO and Chief Legal Technologist, EDRM.

Let’s remain united in our support for each other. For support or to assist a colleague, contact us at info@edrm.net to join our weekly Community Support Call, now in its seventh year.
