"This partnership allows e-discovery professionals to deepen and validate their e-discovery knowledge through CEDS preparation and examination, while simultaneously pairing individuals with TRU's staffing and career management experts. TRU will be sponsoring study groups throughout the United States to not only enrich the educational process through peer mentorship, but also to encourage e-discovery professionals to be social and to engage their local communities in professional networking. The ACEDS and TRU affinity partnership aims to encourage the global standardization of e-discovery base education, nurture the professionals who aspire to enter the space, harness the experience of seasoned professionals and accelerate the career mobility of all TRU-represented talent," stated Jared Coseglia, president of TRU Staffing Partners.

CEDS certification responds to the need for professionals with diverse skills and knowledge across the e-discovery spectrum.
