Lighthouse, a leader in technology-enabled eDiscovery, compliance and information governance services, is pleased to announce that Law & Candor podcast hosts Bill Mariano and Rob Hellewell have been recognized as "Top Authors" for eDiscovery as part of JD Supra's 2022 Readers' Choice Awards. The annual Readers' Choice Awards recognize top authors and firms across 28 topic categories based on how many C-suite executives, in-house counsel, media, and other professionals across the JD Supra platform read, listened to, or engaged with the content and authors during the previous calendar year.

"Podcasts take work to launch—but they take even more work to maintain and grow—so the recognition that the show is now among the top eDiscovery topics is great when you consider how many podcasts have launched in recent years."

Lighthouse released the eighth season of Law & Candor in November, featuring legal and technology experts, as well as Lighthouse thought leaders, as they explored some of the most cutting-edge legal technology developments and trends. Among other topics, Season 8 explored the interplay between artificial intelligence and linguistics, the challenges to keep up with the extraordinary pace of innovation, the advantages and disadvantages of popular eDiscovery review technologies, and cost control and efficiency. Season 9 of Law & Candor, launching this month, will include an all-female guest list focused on innovation and inclusion as a part of Women's History Month.

"We are pleased to have been recognized as 'Top Authors' by JD Supra. Rob and I really enjoy hosting Law & Candor, so it's gratifying to know that our listeners on JD Supra appreciate and respond well to the effort that goes into creating the show," said Mariano. "Podcasts take work to launch—but they take even more work to maintain and grow—so the recognition that the show is now among the top eDiscovery topics is great when you consider how many podcasts have launched in recent years," adds Hellewell.

In total, Mariano and Hellewell were among 267 authors selected for the recognition from a pool of more than 65,000 participants who publish their work on the JD Supra platform.
