Technology in Practice offers a great opportunity for you to learn about electronic discovery.

In a recent article in L’Expert Magazine, Teach Law Students eDiscovery, written by Carrie Bowker, it states that many young lawyers are challenged to learn electronic discovery skills. Since many practicing lawyers lack a well-developed skill set in this area, they are unable to provide proper instruction or guidance. As a result, Associates are often left to learn ediscovery on their own and could be at risk of making serious and costly mistakes for their clients.

Technology in Practice has several CPD Accredited sessions geared to young lawyers who are looking for an engaging and interesting way to learn about ediscovery and project management. Since it is well-known that the management of electronic evidence can represent a significant portion of the cost of litigation, it is critical for lawyers to develop the skills and expertise needed to lead their clients successfully through the ediscovery phase of their case. Equally important is to understand the security risks associated with electronic discovery and how to protect the security and privacy of your client’s sensitive documents.

The electronic discovery industry is growing. Gartner expects the market will grow by about 15% annually, from $1.7 billion in 2013 to $2.9 billion by 2017. This growth will be largely attributable to two factors: increasing volumes of litigation and regulatory investigation; and the growing volume of content and data that must be searched in support of these activities.

Gaining ediscovery expertise will help lawyers to be more successful litigators and to better service their corporate clients. Ediscovery skills may also prove essential to any lawyers wishing to pursue alternative career paths involving information governance or other.
