PRESS RELEASE
Los Angeles: Dec. 5 2011: Estrin Education, Inc., the parent company of KNOW Magazine for Paralegals is pleased to announce that eDiscovery Paralegal has merged with KNOW Magazine. eDiscovery Paralegal is a website and blog designed specifically for paralegals specializing in the eDiscovery arena.
Founded by Robin Margolis and directed by Danielle Marbury, Litigation Support Manager for WilmerHale, the blog took off giving paralegals in this new field an opportunity to discover new resources and reach out to others who were trail blazing as well.
E-discovery is a very exciting field. The discovery and use of electronic information in litigation is a relatively new area of legal practice that was created by the widespread use of computers and the arrival of the internet.
E-discovery has created many new career niches and learning opportunities for paralegals and other legal professionals, but it has also created a steep learning curve for many paralegals and attorneys, who were trained in paper-based discovery — obtaining or producing boxes of documents during litigation, sorting them by hand, and Bates-stamping them.
Paralegal training programs are gradually incorporating e-discovery into their curriculums. There are also a growing number of CLE (continuing legal education) programs on e-discovery specifically for paralegals. Some of the litigation and information technology organizations that have a focus on e-discovery issues have welcomed paralegals into their memberships.
But paralegals have particular informational and networking needs of their own, that are somewhat different from those of other legal professionals. The E-Discovery Paralegals Network (EDPN) looks forward to growing an organization where paralegals and other legal professionals interested in e-discovery paralegals can:
1. meet each other and learn about each other’s e-discovery work;
2. find out about online and bricks-and-mortar paralegal training programs in e-discovery and exchange information about their experiences with these programs;
3. learn about books, podcasts, videos, and other media from which they can learn more about e-discovery;
4. create a job bank for paralegals interested in e-discovery work;
5. provide information about both updates and brand-new e-discovery software packages; and
6. offer information about work done by other e-discovery legal professional organizations that EDPN members would find interesting.
