Here’s what past attendees have said:

“Every instructor and presenter were so well prepared, spoke well, and every presentation was very useful.”

“Excellent program. Great content, workshops and materials.”

“Online experience was excellent.”

“I think it’s fantastic that there is a university program in Canada dealing with eDiscovery, as education in this area is severely lacking. It’s a difficult area to come to grips with. The Osgoode program covers more than just E-Discovery, it also delves into the areas of information governance and privacy which are very important in every E-Discovery matter.”
