Scarab Unites with the Founders of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model for July 9 Webinar

June 30, 2010 - PRLog -- HOUSTON, TX –  When it comes to acceptable boundaries of ethical business practices within the e-discovery service industry, are we still in the time of spurs, six guns and saddles?

Scarab Consulting, a premier provider of litigation support and electronic discovery services for law firms and corporations, announced today that it has united with the founders of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model for a July 9th webinar titled, “EDRM Model Code of Conduct: Moving E-Discovery Out of the Wild, Wild West.”  

The complimentary webinar will combine some of the industry’s leading experts to discuss ethical decision-making struggles faced by both companies and their service providers during the eDiscovery process.  Topics addressed will include the current “lawless” state of today’s e-discovery practice, how the EDRM Model Code of Conduct Project is seeking to establish baseline laws to tame the wild west and considerations for establishing effective working agreements based on ethical business practices.
