These webcasts will bring together a diverse line up of professionals, including many well-known e-discovery industry thought leaders.

E-Discovery Day Panelist, Attorney, and E-Discovery Blogger Craig Ball sums up his excitement for E-Discovery Day: "When I was little, I asked my mother, 'Mom, there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day. When is Children's Day?' Like every parent, she replied, 'Every day is Children's Day.' To me, every day is E-Discovery Day; but, now the world will know when to hang the e-discovery stockings and serve the e-discovery wassail!"

Fellow E-Discovery Day Panelist, Attorney, and Blogger Ralph Losey notes, "It is important to remind all attorneys of the significance of electronic discovery and the timely preservation of electronic evidence. Almost all documents today are electronic, and if relevant, will be part of any litigation. Lawyers and Law Departments need to master this subject to adequately represent their clients. This means constant education, which this program should assist."
