I had a fun time on EDRM’s Illumination Zone with Brett Burney of Nextpoint! Here’s our interview with Mary Mack & Kaylee Walstad of EDRM!

Hard to believe, but this was episode 170(!) of the Illumination Zone! Mary and Kaylee have done a great job of interviewing thought leaders in the industry about timely topics!

And this episode was no exception! Brett and I discussed the eDiscovery topic with Mary and Kaylee that everyone has been discussing – hyperlinked documents and modern attachments! We had just conducted the May EDRM case law webinar earlier that day where we had discussed the two most recent (at the time) cases (available here and here) involving hyperlinked documents, some of the impacts of those case rulings, and other considerations associated with the current hyperlinked documents challenge and how it will evolve over time.

However, that’s not the only topic we discussed. We also discussed current trends and considerations associated with generative AI tools and looming considerations associated with deepfake evidence (including this case involving a former high school athletic director accused of using an AI-generated voice to frame the school’s principal of saying antisemitic remarks). And we also discussed considerations for access to justice, which included Brett’s discussion of Tom O’Connor’s terrific book eDiscovery for the Rest of Us, which was recently updated and re-released via Nextpoint!

It was a fun and informative discussion among four industry thought leaders who have a lot of say on these topics! Check out the Illumination Zone with Brett and me (and Mary and Kaylee, of course) below or here!
