Announcing Third Annual LTNY Thought Leader Series! – eDiscovery Trends
 Announcing Third Annual LTNY Thought Leader Series! – eDiscovery Trends 150 150 CloudNine

The light bulb graphic can only mean one thing: It’s time for another thought leader interview series! In our efforts to continue to bring our readers perspectives from various thought leaders throughout the eDiscovery community, eDiscoveryDaily has published several thought leader interviews over the nearly 2 1/2 years since our inception. The last two years at LegalTech New York (LTNY), we were able to conduct interviews with several eDiscovery industry thought leaders and announced the schedule for those interviews after the show. The LTNY Thought Leader interviews are firmly established as a tradition, as we were able to conduct interviews for the third year in a row with several industry thought leaders! We’re pleased to introduce the schedule for the series, which will begin next Monday, February 11.

 Pro Football Players Aren’t the Only Ones with Talent – eDiscovery Trends 150 150 CloudNine

In football, each team member has responsibilities. For example, the quarterback throws the football (and sometimes changes the plays at the line of scrimmage), the receivers catch the football, the offensive line blocks and the defense tackles the guy with the ball. Each player has responsibilities that align with their talents. Likewise, the members of a litigation team have responsibilities that align with their talents. Now, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) has created a new tool to align talents with their associated tasks.

 Judges and Social Media Don’t Mix Either – eDiscovery Trends 150 150 CloudNine
