EDRM Webcast: Ruminations on Attorney Technical Competence

by EDRM

The EDRM Webcast titled "Ruminations on Attorney Technical Competence" was held on June 13, 2023, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Central Time. This online event was organized by the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), a leading organization dedicated to improving e-discovery, information governance, privacy, and security.

The webcast featured Craig Ball, a Texas trial lawyer, computer forensic examiner, and law professor, who serves as EDRM's General Counsel. In his presentation, Ball addressed the challenges attorneys face in achieving competence in electronic discovery and digital evidence. He explored strategies for bridging the digital divide by fostering a "Digital Middle Class" of lawyers who are proficient in modern information technologies, without necessarily being experts or technophobes.

The event was conducted virtually, allowing participants to engage with the content remotely. As an encore to the EDRM Detroit Symposium, this webcast provided valuable insights into the evolving role of technology in legal practice.

This webcast was particularly beneficial for legal professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of electronic discovery and digital evidence. Attorneys, paralegals, and other legal practitioners interested in improving their technical competence in these areas would have found the session informative and relevant.
