There's so much about legal holds but these wonderful speakers cleared up any misconceptions and gave a thorough look into what such holds entail. Thanks!

Legal holds course was a great provider of insight on how plaintiffs, defendants and third parties should approach the legal hold process to avoid claims willful deprivation and subsequent sanctions.

Steven DiCesare | 02/15/2017

Very useful summation of the varying aspects of legal holds. Better than most treatises on this topic.

Cara Johnson | 07/07/2016

I enjoyed the use of multiple presenters both because it was an effective way to vary the presentation and because I appreciated the perspective of agency counsel in addition to litigation attorneys. Very well done.

Simple, exhaustive and to the point explanation about Legal Hold.

Malcolm Guidry | 04/25/2016

I'm really enjoying this course and find it better than another recent eDiscovery Project Management course I took. Using multiple instructors as well as ones so well versed and respected in the field gives us several perspectives and a depth of knowledge that will prove invaluable in our careers.
