Welcome the Newest eDiscoveryJournal Contributors
I have spoken to many of our readers over the past several months and have received a great deal of feedback about the eDiscoveryJournal. The readers appreciate the perspectives of Greg, Barry, Mikki and I…and they want more. Because eDJ analysts are working analysts – out in the field experiencing the real thing, we thought the best way to keep the content coming is to add some other independent perspectives. With that in mind, I started a campaign to find new contributors to the eDiscoveryJournal site. Today I’m proud to announce our newest group of contributors. Greg Harris has worked in eDiscovery and Computer Forensics for over four years and in the Information Security field for more than eight years. In his current role, Greg works in the eDiscovery and Investigations department for a large corporation in Alpharetta, Georgia. His duties span [...]

Response to “Has eDiscovery Disenfranchised Our Paralegals?”
I was happy to see Greg Buckles’ post Has eDiscovery Disenfranchised Our Paralegals. The answer is, wholeheartedly, YES! So, why am I happy? I am happy because someone finally brought the topic up publicly. It is a very real problem that the legal industry needs to address. Instead, however, we seem to be treating the subject as taboo or simply shrugging our shoulders. Buckles correctly identified the problem and how it came into existence. It happened without anyone noticing. The disconnect between paralegals and the litigation support process has caused significant tension within legal teams. In my experience, this holds true in both law firms and in-house legal departments, as well as between outside and in-house counsel. Buckles also correctly identified the solution: improved chain of custody processes that keep the stakeholders engaged and informed through every step of evidence [...]

Announcing the eDJ Peer Group
This is my first entry as a contributor to the eDiscoveryJournal so I wanted to make it special with an announcement about a new initiative I’m leading with the eDJ Group. While you and I may not have met yet and we may not have met the other professionals that are reading this blog at the very same time, we are all bonded by this special community of eDiscovery and information governance professionals. Wouldn’t you agree that we could all grow from each other’s knowledge? Of course we could!
The ability to share knowledge, pain points, successes and challenges, and state of the market with peers is invaluable. The challenges, however, include: opportunity, confidentiality, competition and facilitation. In recognizing both the need for knowledge sharing in our industry and the challenges associated therewith, eDiscovery Journal and eDJ Group have created the “eDJ Peer Group” and I am proud to lead its launch.

Thumbs-up for Arkfeld’s EDD/Evidence Course
I had the opportunity to take Michael Arkfled’s six week e-discovery course this fall and found it to be one of the best courses I have taken on the topic. The course is based on Arkfeld on Electronic Discovery and Evidence treatise, best practice guides, model forms, and other materials. Besides the weekly two-hour live interactive online meeting, the course included approximately 20 online learning modules. Guest speakers and co-presenters included Craig Ball, Joshua Gilliland, and Judge Paul Grimm. We had a potent group of participants, including Rob Robinson of Orange Legal Technologies, who publishes a weekly EDD news update. Next stop Ralph Losey’s e-Discovery Team Training.
