EDRM Update – August 2014

\r\n

Welcome to the August 2014 issue of EDRM Update!

\r\n\r\n\r\nThis month marks a sad time for the EDRM community as we grieve the loss of our dear friend, Browning Marean, who passed away on August 23.\r\n\r\nBrowning was an enthusiastic champion of legal technology, an ardent educator, and a relentless pursuer of the best of e-discovery. Speaking at conferences around the globe, he surely touched ground in more countries than anyone else in the e-discovery world.\r\n\r\nBrowning’s passion for the betterment of the industry was beyond compare, but it was no match for the passion and love he had for his family and friends and for his enjoyment of life. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.\r\n\r\nTime will not soon heal the wound cause by Browning’s departure. Rest in peace, Browning.\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\n\r\nGeorge Socha & Tom Gelbmann\r\n\r\nTo receive the newsletter, subscribe to our list\r\n[contentblock id=1344]\r\n\r\n[toc]\r\n\r\n
