Here’s Another Resource from EDRM That You May Not Know About: eDiscovery Webinars

As a result, on the last day of the show, I decided to tour the exhibit hall and ask some of the exhibitors their thoughts about this year’s show, how it compared to previous years and whether American Lawyer Media (ALM) should consider moving LTNY to a different (i.e., warmer) time of year.
