TERIS Phoenix Offers Free CLE Courses on eDiscovery and Forensics to Arizona Law Firms and In-House Counsel

Attorneys looking to fulfill Arizona's mandatory continuing legal education (CLE) requirements now have the option to schedule free CLE courses in the comfort of their own firms or corporations.

TERIS Phoenix, a full-service litigation support provider, is offering free CLE courses on eDiscovery and forensics issues to Arizona-based law firms and in-house counsel. TERIS has successfully presented courses at 10 firms in 2010, including several large national firms in the Phoenix area.

"I invited TERIS to Polsinelli Shughart after attending one of their presentations at the MCBA and found them to be timely and well-presented without becoming a sales pitch," said Andrew Turk, partner at Polsinelli Shughart. "I have even provided some of the materials to clients and wished they could all see the program. We have invited TERIS back for another program and would encourage colleagues to contact TERIS based on the extensive knowledge they've demonstrated."

TERIS Phoenix CLE course options include:

An Introduction to eDiscovery
Forensic Collection & The Pitfalls of In-House IT Collection
Got Sanctions? The 2009 eDiscovery Year in Review

Two additional course topics in development will focus on:

Methods to Cull Data and Lower eDiscovery Costs
Document Retention Policies

Each presentation lasts approximately one hour, plus time for Q & A. All options are ethics credit eligible and TERIS provides each participant with a certificate of attendance and written presentation materials.

The State Bar of Arizona does not approve or accredit CLE activities for the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirement. TERIS CLE courses may qualify for up to one hour toward the annual CLE requirement for the State Bar of Arizona, including one hour of professional responsibility.

"The CLE presenters from TERIS are very well-prepared, informative and knowledgeable leaders in the field," said David Funkhouser, an attorney at Quarles & Brady, LLP. "The topics presented in our CLE were extremely timely and relevant to our entire practice group. Since then, I have been extremely mindful of issues regarding electronically stored information, and the pitfalls associated therewith. I would whole-heartedly recommend TERIS CLEs to my colleagues and peers."

To schedule a free CLE with TERIS Phoenix in the comfort of your law firm or company, call Brandon Colburn at 602.241.9333 or e-mail bcolburn(at)teris(dot)com.
