eDiscovery Project Management
Certificate Course

PKI partners with the Organization of Legal Professionals (OLP) to bring you a certificate program
with meaningful and lasting performance results.

Develop a path to an eDiscovery career!

The eDiscovery frenzy that has gripped the American Legal System over the past decade is expected to become increasingly complex. Despite the advent of this new practice specialty, very little in the way of formal training has existed. Until now. 

To meet the needs of this burgeoning field, PKI/OLP has developed an intensive graduate level program that focuses directly on the practical assignment areas of the eDiscovery professional. 

Program highlights

PKI/OLP's comprehensive program has been designed, developed and delivered by preeminent attorneys, consultants, law professors, litigation support experts, senior paralegals, paralegal managers and other leading industry professionals,

PKI/OLP’s online, live and interactive eDiscovery Program instructs legal professionals specifically in the assignment areas they are most likely to be assigned. Our online, interactive program reaches the inside issues that really matter. In our classrooms, you will learn key principles along with practical instruction in legal project management with an emphasis in eDiscovery.


Upon completion of this program, successful graduates will be able to:

  • Explain the role of e-Discovery in today’s legal system;
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the e-Discovery process; fundamental legal principles and the "EDRM" (edrm.net)"process;
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of e-Discovery legal ethics and Best Practices;
  • Proficiently access, locate, and manage e-Discovery cases by both traditional and electronic methods;
  • Demonstrate problem-solving and critical, analytical thinking skills within the context of evaluating e-Discovery practical issues; and more
