SCHOLARSHIP update: 1


THE ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY INSTITUTE (EDI) 2014 SUMMIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM [DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2014]

EDI is a non-profit organization dedicated to resolving electronic discovery challenges by conducting studies of litigation processes that incorporate modern technologies. The explosion in volume of electronically stored information and the complexity of its discovery overwhelms the litigation process and the justice system. Technology and efficient processes can ease the impact of electronic discovery.

EDI’s annual Leadership Summit is set to take place at the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale from Wednesday, October 15th to Friday, October 17th and they are looking for law students (1Ls, 2Ls or 3L’s) who live in close proximity to Fort Lauderdale to take part in our Summit Scholarship Program.

The Summit includes:

  • A welcome reception at the Bonnet House from 7 P.M. to 10 P.M. on Wednesday, October 15th, that offers the perfect opportunity for networking and breaking the ice for relationships to be developed over the course of the Summit.
  • Thursday, October 16th and Friday, October 17th will offer a full day of sessions with breakfast, lunch, snacks/beverages.   Thursday concludes with a cocktail party for more networking and an opportunity share thoughts about the topics presented throughout the day.

They are offering a limited number of scholarships to law school students with an interest in law and technology to attend as our guests. There is usually a registration fee attached with attending the Summit, but as part of their Scholarship Program, that fee will be waived.
