Dearest EDRM community,

The word of the week is combined.

Tropical Storm Hillary hit California just as an earthquake opened. The Hawaiian wildfires experience is told by the Hawaii News Now.  Russia’s moon landing vehicle crashed.  Ukraine gets the planes it has been seeking. The Saudi Arabia/Israel negotiations are moving forward. South Korea, Japan and the US are bolstering security with a new agreement. The Matildas have won the long game.

The mutiny at Louis Brisbois has failed completely and quickly. Thomson sailed through the antitrust landscape and completed its purchase of AI enabled Casetext. Rob Robinson introduced Reciprocal Intelligence using the EDRM as an example. Digital Legal Marketing Agency Good2bSocial is Acquired by Lawyer Ranking Company Best Lawyers. David Greetham and his company PC Forensics joined the Level Legal team.

EDRM Project Leaders Khrys McKinney (AI Ethics/Bias), Cristin Traylor (Priv Logs), Jay Yelton (Special Master and Discovery Neutral), Monica Harris and Matt Rasmussen (Short Message Metadata Primer 1.0) and Dave Cohen (GDPR) updated the community on progress on the EDRM Global Webinar channel.  

It’s available on demand if you missed it.
