Portland, Oregon, Aug. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exterro® Inc., the preferred provider of software specifically designed for in-house legal and IT teams at Global 2000 and AmLaw 200 organizations, in partnership with Association of E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS), EDRM Duke Law, Georgetown Law CLE, Legal Technology Professionals Institute (LTPI), and University of Florida Levin College of Law today announced the third annual E-Discovery Day on December 1, 2017.
On December 1, 2017, the e-discovery industry will come together to celebrate e-discovery’s vital role in the legal process. E-Discovery Day is an industry wide, vendor neutral celebration that includes online webinars, CLE opportunities, white papers, e-books, infographics and in-person educational, networking, and social events. In 2016, the second annual E-Discovery Day included 12 educational webinars, seven in-person events, and more than 1700 participants.
“Mark your calendars for December 1, as it’s going to be a great day of e-discovery education and celebration. In today’s digital world, e-discovery not only impacts legal risk but also increasingly influences a company’s bottom line. With that in mind, E-Discovery Day brings together a diverse set of professionals to share experiences, discuss key trends and offer best practices over a variety of mediums with the goal of elevating e-discovery awareness and expertise,” said Bill Piwonka, CMO, Exterro.
An E-Discovery Day newsletter has been created for people interested in staying up to date on all the E-Discovery Day activities. In addition, e-discoveryday.com has information for companies or organizations seeking to become a sponsor or host their own E-Discovery Day event.
“E-Discovery Day does such a good job of spreading awareness and knowledge of e-discovery, emerging technologies, case law, and resources that can help the legal profession continue to adopt and refine its use of e-discovery tools. EDRM is pleased to be part of the day’s events and to support and partner with Exterro in creating a forum for dialogue and learning,” said James Waldron, Director, EDRM, Center for Judicial Studies at Duke Law.
“ACEDS members will gather in person and virtually to connect with their e-discovery communities, learn about e-discovery trends and the 2017 amendments and to celebrate. ACEDS thanks our platinum affiliate, Exterro, for its stewardship of eDiscovery Day,” said Mary Mack, Executive Director of ACEDS.
"E-discovery education becomes increasingly vital as the demands on litigators and e-discovery professionals ratchet up to meet new challenges. The courts are demanding every increasing transparency and accountability while ESI continues to explode on mobile devices, in cloud storage and services, and in the Internet of Things. UF Law is very pleased to join with Exterro and other sponsors in this important E-Discovery Day 2017, “ said William F. Hamilton, Executive Director of the University of Florida Law E-Discovery Project.
