Word of the week: Vision

In legal tech last week, ComplexDiscovery OÜ released the comprehensive fully sourced 2026 Market Mashup with some surprises. Relativity elevated its platform with Chris Brown’s promotion to President. The Honorable Ralph Artigliere (Ret.) teamed up with a promising prelaw student for an article on education, mentoring, and what the next generation needs from us. And our own Holley Robinson received a promotion to Marketing Operations Director. As we implement AI into our workflows, please take a moment to share your thoughts in the survey we are conducting with Exterro, whose Founder and CEO, Bobby Balachandran, explained their approach to Agentic AI in Illumination Zone Episode 236. 

Join us for two live webinars this week:

– Tuesday, 14 July 2026 | 1 PM ET – Building a Case Chronology That Holds Up from Discovery Through Trial, with Nextpoint

– Thursday, 16 July 2026 | 1 PM ET – Digital Evidence: Mapping the Landscape with Case Insights, with Level Legal
