“You just don’t luck into things as much as you’d like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it’s friendships or opportunities.”~Barbara Bush

Non-Solitication Rule

Since the use of this organization and its membership for the purpose of soliciting business is not consistent with the goals and purposes of Women in eDiscovery, we have a non-solicitation policy. The membership roster and meetings are for personal and professional development and not for solicitation.

Members are, of course, free to network in person and discuss business with other members and guests, but each member agrees not to engage in any bulk solicitation of others and/or guests for any business or other purpose. Participants also acknowledge that complaints from other members or guests about unwanted business or other solicitations are grounds for termination of membership.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Women in eDiscovery is to bring together businesswomen interested in technology related to the legal industry and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and other businesswomen grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition.

Goals

To create leadership and networking opportunities among women who are interested in helping themselves and other businesswomen grow personally and professionally.

To advocate the viewpoint of professional women in the legal industry especially on issues affecting the application of technology in their roles at work and at home.

To bridge the knowledge gap for women between old technology, traditional technology, and future trends.

To offer educational and certification opportunities for women who are interested in furthering their education in legal and technology fields.

To establish a strong communication network among women focused in the legal and technology industries
