MAURA R. GROSSMAN, J.D.,
PH.D. Maura is a well-known and influential eDiscovery
expert. She was described in Who’s Who Litigation E-Discovery Analysis as
“‘sensational’ according to her peers and . . . a ‘go-to’ in the area,” and
by Chambers & Partners USA
Litigation: E-Discovery as “the
best-known person in the area of technology-assisted review; a superstar
among superstars.” Maura’s scholarly
work on TAR, most notably, Technology-Assisted
Review in E-Discovery Can Be More Effective and More Efficient Than
Exhaustive Manual Review, published in the Richmond Journal of Law &
Technology in 2011, has been widely cited in case law, both in the U.S. and abroad. Her longstanding contributions to
eDiscovery technology and process were featured in the February 2016 issue of
The American Lawyer and in the
September 2016 ABA Journal – where
she was recognized as a 2016 Legal Rebel.
In 2017, Maura was one of 10 additions to the ABA’s list of Women in
Legal Tech; was named to the Fastcase50 list, which honors “the year’s smartest, most courageous
innovators, techies, visionaries, and leaders in the law”; and was honored by
the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (“ACEDS”), and Women in
eDiscovery (‘WiE”) as one of the “women who have served as pioneers and
innovators in eDiscovery and legal technology.” Maura has been a court-appointed special
master, mediator, and expert to the court in many high-profile federal and
state court cases. She has provided
eDiscovery training to federal and state court judges, by invitation of the
court, and has testified several times before the Advisory Committees on the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Evidence Rules. Maura has also taught more than a dozen
courses on eDiscovery at Columbia, Georgetown, Pace, and Rutgers–Newark law
schools, and has been a guest lecturer at many more. Maura was a member of the Steering
Committee of The Sedona Conference Working Group 1
on Best Practices for Electronic Document Retention and Production from 2012
through 2018, and also served as a member of the Steering Committee of the
Seventh Circuit Council on Electronic Discovery and Digital Information. She has been involved in the National
Institute of Standards and Technology’s Text Retrieval Conference (“TREC”)
since 2008; in 2010 and 2011, as coordinator of the Legal Track, and in 2015
and 2016, as coordinator of the Total Recall Track. Maura presently serves on the Advisory
Boards of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (“EDRM”), ACEDS, and the Merlin
Foundation, as well as the Georgetown Advanced eDiscovery Institute and Arizona
State University-Arkfeld eDiscovery and Digital Evidence Conference. |
