Course Description:

More than ever, law firms and legal departments are being scrutinized to better manage costs and create efficiencies with the discovery process.  And regardless of whether e-discovery is handled internally or externally, there are significant costs associated with the collection, processing, reviewing, storage, and management of data. 

In fact, most lawyers and paralegals would agree cases that involve e-discovery carry inherent challenges related to budgets, workflow, technology, communication, deadlines, and the need for early collaboration with all stakeholders.
