Yesterday was Day One of the Georgetown Law School’s acclaimed eDiscovery Training Academy, and it’s off to a fantastic start. Over fifty attendees are beginning their week-long boot camp on e-discovery law and technology, and feeling very fortunate to be at perhaps the best e-discovery training program in the world.
Today was largely devoted to the basic technical challenges of e-discovery, led by the acclaimed technology lawyer Craig Ball. Ball guided the class through the challenges of search and collection, including fundamentals of retrieval of digital evidence, keywords, context search and predictive coding. Assisting him was Guidance Software’s veteran trainer David Neal, who took the class through some points to watch out for when planning a search and collection. This is Neal’s second year on the faculty.
Guidance Software is proud to be a supporter for the second year in a row of this unique program, the faculty of which includes US Magistrate Judges John Facciola and Paul Grimm, Michael Arkfeld and Mark Sidoti, among others. Guidance has donated its EnCase® software for use not only by the instructors but the attendees as well, who all come prepared to do e-discovery exercises using their own laptops. The Academy received rave reviews last year and, judging by Day One of Year Two, the raves will continue. If you are looking for a comprehensive training in e-discovery, this is the place to be.
