In case you missed it, ediscovery has gone mainstream. When I graduated from law school many eons ago and ultimately landed my first job in the legal technology field, I had never heard of ediscovery and neither had anyone I knew. And let’s just say that among the hours and hours of studying antiquated case law, ediscovery, or technology in general, definitely weren’t a part of anything I learned during my law school journey.
Fast forward to present day and ediscovery is no longer that niche, unknown field with zero to little available training options. Law schools are embracing ediscovery as part of their regular legal technology curriculum while more and more state bar associations are amending their ethical conduct rules to make competence in technology a fundamental obligation of lawyers.
It’s clear that beyond traditional legal training, making sure you’re up to speed on technology, and particularly, ediscovery, is a critical component of becoming a competent legal professional. So what ediscovery training options are out there? Here are my top four picks whether you’re new to the field or an ediscovery veteran.
These are just a small selection of the many ediscovery training opportunities ready for you to add to your expanding legal technology education repertoire. If you have further thoughts, suggestions, or would like to discuss more details on any of the above with me, please get in touch at SLedgerwood@lighthouseglobal.com or Twitter @sarahewood. I’d love to hear from you!
