Dearest EDRM Community,

Word of the Week: Civility.

In our legal tech world this week, we are starting to plan for high season as the US begins its elections in earnest.

As the US and the world absorb the impact of the heinous attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, the EDRM strengthens its commitment to creating conditions for legal tech professionals to collaborate across differing perspectives to streamline and enhance justice.
