The International eDEx Program provides jurisdictionally neutral e-discovery training for legal professionals beyond U.S. borders.
November 21, 2023 – Dallas, TX – Responding to the global demand for e-discovery training tailored to legal professionals outside the United States, the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS), the world’s leading organization for training and certification in e-discovery and part of BARBRI Professional Education, today announced the launch of its International eDiscovery Executive Certificate Program.
E-discovery, or e-disclosure, is not confined to the United States, as it plays a vital role in litigation, regulatory matters, and internal investigations worldwide. The International eDEx Program equips legal, business, and technical professionals, from students to seasoned lawyers, paralegals, and IT professionals, with the foundational knowledge needed to navigate the critical processes related to managing e-discovery projects and data related to regulatory inquiries or internal investigations.
The International eDEx program retains the quality and comprehensive content of ACEDS’ original foundational e-discovery training while eliminating references to U.S. laws, rules, and practices. “We wanted to preserve the rigor and depth of the original eDEx program but replace the US-centric content with more emphasis on internationally recognized concepts,” said Mike Quartararo, president of ACEDS.
“This new program focuses on universally applicable principles and best practices, making it the first e-discovery course of its kind that is genuinely globally relevant”
Mike Quartararo, President of ACEDS
The online, self-paced International eDEx program includes lessons on international e-discovery, project planning, budgeting, information governance, and the collection, processing, review, and production of ESI. Included in the program is a one-year membership with ACEDS and access to additional resources from BARBRI Professional Education.
“The International eDEx Program ensures that legal professionals around the world have an opportunity to access unparalleled e-discovery training that not only transcends geographical boundaries but also empowers them to thrive in today’s global e-discovery community,” Quartararo said.
