Duke Law Acquires EDRM

September 7, 2016

EDRM, the leading standards organization for the e-discovery industry, announced on August 24^th that it had been acquired by Duke University School of Law.

For EDRM, Duke provides an institutional home with a large and respected organization, ensuring the continued vitality of EDRM. Duke Law and its Center for Judicial Studies gain resources that expand the center's involvement in electronic discovery and information governance in support of its mission to promote better understanding of the judicial process and to generate ideas for improving the administration of justice.

EDRM co-founder George Socha, who joined BDO Consulting last month, will remain with EDRM after the acquisition. EDRM co-founder Tom Gelbmann plans to work with Duke Law for the transition of EDRM programs and will retire later this year. Tom Hnatowski, former chief of the Magistrate Judges Division of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, has agreed to join the Judicial Studies Center to manage day-to-day operations running EDRM.

EDRM member, sponsor and affiliate benefits will continue uninterrupted as EDRM operations transition to the Duke Law management team. An e-mail providing details was sent to all EDRM members on August 23, 2016.

Hard to believe that EDRM was only founded 11 years ago. It will be interesting to see how it evolves in its new home.
