Dearest EDRM community,
The word of the week is humanity.
The US is supporting Israel militarily, as civilians in Gaza move south to safety from Israel’s announced operations in the North to recover hostages and neutralize Hamas. Qatar brokered the release of 4 Ukrainian children from Russia with hopes for more. Rite-Aid filed for bankruptcy. Layoffs in big tech continue. The United Autoworkers strike may be joined by casino workers striking in Detroit, as the Screenwriters Union members go back to work.
In Legal Tech this Week

Mark your calendars, E-Discovery Day is December 7, 2023 and there is a short fun survey out we hope you will give a few minutes to take.
