Word of the week: Interdependence
In legal tech last week, our project team launched EDRM 2.0 for public comment. And to better understand how our community is working with AI, we’ve teamed up with our longtime Trusted Partner Exterro to survey our community on AI adoption in eDiscovery. Your input is highly appreciated.
Join us for two upcoming Trusted Partner webinars next week:
Mary Mack, CEO and Chief Legal Technologist, EDRM.
– 14 July 2026 | 1 PM ET – Building a Case Chronology That Holds Up from Discovery Through Trial, with Nextpoint
– 16 July 2026 | 1 PM ET – Digital Evidence: Mapping the Landscape with Case Insights, with Level Legal
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.
