We capped off Tuesday’s ACEDS Jacksonville eDiscovery events with a Happy Hour at Black Sheep Restaurant sponsored by ZyLAB. Thank you Jeffrey Wolff and Scott Hunter for coming down and supporting our chapter. It was great to gather and meet with our local community and those passing through on the way to the annual University of Florida College of Law eDiscovery Conference in Gainesville.

It was a busy week for eDiscovery in Florida. After our ACEDS Jacksonville events on Tuesday, the group took a #ACEDSRoadTrip to Gainesville for the #UFEDISCO19 Conference on Thursday. Thanks for William “Bill” Hamilton, Maribel Rivera and George Socha for your thoughtful planning, preparation and hard work bringing this enriching legal technology education to the at large legal community in Florida and across the globe with the live stream — while also exposing the resources and talent available through the eDiscovery industry. It was wonderful to participate, see colleagues, and learn from the practice leaders you bring together each year for this exceptional event. Good to see you all and we look forward to next year!
