Mallory Maier-Acheson, attorney and head of analytics for Encompass, will speak on the growing importance of e-discovery at the Belmont College of Law's Criminal Law Journal Symposium. This year's symposium focuses especially on cyber law for criminal justice.

Electronic discovery for legal matters emerged in tandem with the evolution of technology. As technology becomes more sophisticated, the need to mine, preserve, and deliver electronic data becomes more intricate. Maier-Acheson will speak on why e-discovery has grown to be so important in the legal world, from investigation to litigation, alongside a panel of other e-discovery professionals.

Based in Nashville, Maier-Acheson is an attorney and Relativity Certified Analytics & Assisted Review Specialist with multiple years of experience leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics tools.
