It’s almost time! Time, that is, to find out which cases are the five most important eDiscovery cases of 2023 as part of E-Discovery Day tomorrow!

On E-Discovery Day 2023, it’s only fitting that we look back over the year that’s coming to an end and review the five most important eDiscovery case law rulings of the year. And it’s only fitting that we do so with the usual cast of characters: Tom O’Connor (Director of the Gulf Legal Technology Center), Mary Mack (CEO and Chief Legal Technologist of EDRM) and Hon. Andrew Peck (Ret.), Senior Counsel at DLA Piper!

Our webinar is at the special time of 1:30pm ET (12:30pm ET, 10:30am PT). You can register here!

In fact, please register! Why? We’re in an informal competition with the other webinars to see who gets the most registrants! As of the last check, we had the second most registrations. So, we need more to win! 🙂

Out of 66(!) cases we’ve covered this year, we narrowed the list down to 20 and selected 5 cases from that. Which cases did we pick? You’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out! Here are the 20 finalists (in order that we covered them) – see if you can predict the 5 cases we chose!
