eDiscovery Classes and Certification

Extract from eDiscovery Education Center (EDEC) Website

Online Classes Overview – Arkfeld eDiscovery and Digital Evidence

To fully understand how the law and the technology intersect, eDiscovery practitioners need a foundation in computer technology and how it relates to the practice of law. This foundation can be established or reinforced through an 8-week EDEC class with expert speakers, unparalleled course materials, and innovative online interactive learning.

The initial part of the 8-week class serves as an essential primer of computer technological concepts and data forensics and its importance in cases.  Following the Information Technology (IT) section, the class continues on to provide instruction, strategy and tactics for handling specific Electronically Stored Information (ESI) legal issues throughout pretrial discovery.  The entire series is based on the Arkfeld on Electronic Discovery and Evidence Treatise and Best Practice Guides(Click here for more information on eDiscovery Publications.)

Classes provide attendees with the opportunity to interact with instructors through live online sessions. The classes also give attendees access to:

  • Over 18 hours of “Advanced” eDiscovery videos and a condensed version of 7 hours of “Basic” eDiscovery videos
  • Pre- and post-tests to help check attendee progress in the class
  • Factual scenarios to help attendees apply new learning

Classes are held in the Spring and Fall of each year. The 2017 calendar is being completed as of this writing.
