ACEDS in the News: A Topic for Our Times
As courts struggle to handle the deluge of electronically stored data used as evidence in civil actions, electronic discovery has become the single biggest storyline in the legal world today. The Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS) is the first and only credible membership organization to utilize a quantifiable, psychometric approach to train and certify professionals in the e-discovery, and we are at the forefront of this dynamic, fluid field.
