Dearest EDRM Community,
Phrase of the week: New phase
In our legal tech world this week, high season is in full swing. The EDRM 2.0 team has started their technology briefings with both EDRM Trusted Partners and others in our ecosystem. More eDiscovery leaders are calling for changes in authenticating digital evidence for legal purposes. We’re on the road this week to Relativity Fest, so electronic responses may be delayed as we delight in seeing our friends in person!
There is no paywall for the EDRM’s Global Webinar Channel. All are welcome! Past webinars are available 24/7 On Demand for 90 days after the live event. We had some excellent ones this month!
Kaylee Walstad and Mary Mack, EDRM.
