Every litigator and person in your organization who "touches" a matter involving "electronically stored information" should take a "basic" eDiscovery course. Often, I hear of stories of legal professionals, for example, who fail to recognize "triggering" legal hold events and the ensuing court sanctions that follow. However, we recognize that different practitioners may need different levels of training.

We've created comparison guide to help you identify which course bundle will best fit your needs.

Who should take an eDiscovery training course?

We firmly believe that your entire eDiscovery team and organization (attorneys, paralegals, litigation and IT support staff, and other legal professionals) who "touch" eDiscovery matters should have access to the same testing and eDiscovery instructional content. For this reason, we offer a low subscription group rate (law firm, government unit, corporate office, etc.) for all EDEC on-demand instructional content which includes a team eDiscovery assessment. This will allow your whole team, regardless of knowledge level to develop and grow in their eDiscovery abilities. Contact [email protected] for a group rate.

"U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of Manhattan specifically noted in his Ratermann opinion that the 3rd Circuit’s reasoning in Hepp “reinforces the conclusion” that Ratermann did not have a viable claim against the online companies."

Patty Ratermann is a model. She earns money from the use of her image. But under a first-of-its-kind ruling on Tuesday from a federal judge in Manhattan, Ratermann cannot sue online companies over advertisements that allegedly displayed her photograph without her permission.
