Arkfeld's eDiscovery Education Center

We firmly believe that your entire eDiscovery team and organization (attorneys, paralegals, litigation and IT support staff, and other legal professionals) who "touch" eDiscovery matters should have access to the same testing and eDiscovery instructional content. For this reason, we offer a low subscription group rate (law firm, government unit, corporate office, etc.) for all EDEC on-demand instructional content which includes a team eDiscovery assessment. This will allow your whole team, regardless of knowledge level to develop and grow in their eDiscovery abilities. Contact franny@edec.com for a group rate.

We offer both individual and group pricing. Individual pricing is found directly on our website and is as follows:

Basic eDiscovery Certification: $15 / month
Advanced eDiscovery Certification: $15 / month
Eight Phases of Pretrial eDiscovery Certification: $15 / month
All-access to on-demand content: $25 / month
Live Master Course: $700 (discounts and scholarships available, see course page for options)

Refund Policy
Attendees signing up for an eDiscovery Education Center’s online continuing education course will be entitled to a full refund, if the course is cancelled by the Center.
If you withdraw more than 14 days prior to the start date of your eDiscovery Education Center’s online continuing education course you are entitled to receive a refund of any tuition paid, less a $25 administrative fee. If, however, you received a complimentary set of Arkfeld publications upon enrollment, you are entitled to your tuition, less the cost of the text and shipping and will receive a refund of approximately $350.

Every litigator and person in your organization who "touches" a matter involving "electronically stored information" should take a "basic" eDiscovery course. Often, I hear of stories of legal professionals, for example, who fail to recognize "triggering" legal hold events and the ensuing court sanctions that follow. However, we recognize that different practitioners may need different levels of training.

We've created comparison guide to help you identify which course bundle will best fit your needs.

The primary difference between the "basic" and "advanced" Legal issues and IT Courses is the length of the videos and additional readings. The critical issues under both Courses are covered, though in more detail in the "advanced" series.

If you don't want to have to choose between the "basic" and "advanced" courses, our All-access subscription rates includes both levels of on-demand courses on the EDEC website.
