E-Discovery Specialists organize, assess, manage, and maintain all the electronic documents shared between parties during the discovery process of a legal proceeding. They work as part of a legal team in the pre-trial and trial phases of a legal proceeding in the overall management of electronically stored information. Electronically stored information (ESI) is the new standard in evidence in criminal and civil litigation. This program features courses that will provide students entry-level skills in the management, retention, and collection of ESI in legal proceedings.
Students entering the program should have strong analytical and deductive reasoning skills, strong computer skills, and be detail oriented.
E-Discovery Specialist jobs can be found in private litigation firms and large corporations with in-house counsellingoffices. For more information see www.indeed.com.
