The Gifts that Keep on Giving: eDiscovery Holiday Wishes and Webcasts

Not only have we had a very successful year in presenting CLE-accredited webcasts this year, we’re already getting started on next year with a new webcast in January!  If you want to see how key case law decisions in 2017 may affect how you conduct discovery in 2018 AND how you can still get CLE credit for 2017’s webcasts, read on.

I thought I’d start by taking a look back at the webcasts we conducted this year.  A couple of days ago, I met with a client prospect who had attended a couple of our webcasts and had requested (and received) CLE credit for attending them.  She had very complimentary things to say about the webcasts she attended, which was a great feeling, and seemed to appreciate how easy it was to obtain CLE credit for attending.

We’ve conducted several CLE-accredited webcasts this year, covering such topics as what attorneys (and other legal professionals) need to know about eDiscovery in 2017, best practices for eDiscovery searching, how to avoid 20 different “pitfalls” and “potholes” that could derail your eDiscovery projects, what you need to know about cybersecurity and privacy in 2017, how cloud automation is revolutionizing eDiscovery for solo and small firms as we speak, considerations for selecting on-premise and/or off-premise eDiscovery solutions, what to do (or what you should have already done) when the case is actually filed, lessons learned from recent eDiscovery disasters and how to thwart Murphy’s Law and keep what could go wrong from actually going wrong.  And, because we couldn’t wait until the end of the year to analyze key case law, we took a look at key eDiscovery case law decisions for the first half of 2017.

These are just some of the twenty-three webcasts that are currently up on our webcasts page (launched less than a year ago, I might add), that also includes some product demonstrations and educational and additional informative webcasts (some of those CLE-accredited as well) that we’ve conducted through our partnership with ACEDS.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that CLE-accreditation is not just available for those who attended these webcasts live, it’s also available for those who view the webcasts on demand.  They are truly the gift that keeps on giving – CLE credits.  While each of these webcasts were accredited in selected states, CLE accreditation is available in additional states via reciprocity credit.  So, if you want to ask about CLE credit on any particular webcast, feel free to email me at daustin@cloudnine.com.

Also, feel free to sign up for our first webcast of 2018: Important eDiscovery Case Law Decisions of 2017 and Their Impact on 2018.  Tom O’Connor and I will cover key 2017 case law decisions covered by the eDiscovery Daily blog and what the legal profession can learn from those rulings – which is one reason why I was “catching up” on a couple of cases earlier this week.  :o)  To sign up for the webcast, click here.  You won’t want to miss Tom and I talking case law – there will be plenty to talk about and we can hopefully fit it all into one hour.

I want to thank everyone who participated in the webcasts this year, including Karen DeSouza, Julia Romero Peter and (of course) Tom O’Connor.  And, thanks to BrightTalk for being a terrific channel on which to conduct our webcasts.  And, a special thanks to Rob Robinson for coordinating the webcasts, including posting and promoting them (literally thousands of you have signed up for them) and kicking them off with introductions of the speakers.

Most of all, thanks to you for attending our webcasts and reading our blog (and a special thanks to those who’ve provided feedback and comments).  We’re into our eighth year for eDiscovery Daily, and (other than the couple of weeks I take off from blog writing at the end of each year to “recharge my batteries”), still going strong.  As we always say, please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.  We love your feedback!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!  eDiscovery Daily will resume with new posts after the new year on January 3.
