CDS Marks Three Years of Partnership with Cardozo Data Law Initiative (CDLI) Externship Program
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 16, 2016 -- Complete Discovery Source (CDS), a leading eDiscovery company, is marking the third year of its participation in the Cardozo Data Law Initiative (CDLI) externship program led by the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. The CDLI externship program provides law students with hands-on work experience designed to prepare them for a career in information governance, e-discovery, data privacy, social media law, and cybersecurity. The program supplements the university’s comprehensive coursework that covers various aspects of data law as taught by top faculty in the field. As a founding member of the program’s Board of Advisors, CDS has helped develop a template for the externship program that now includes many of the leading organizations in the data law arena. Matthew Knouff, eDiscovery Counsel at CDS, has sat on the program’s Board of Advisors since its inception in 2014 and is the creative force and content director behind CDS’ externship.
“CDS understands the need to provide Cardozo law students with hands-on work experience that sets the stage for workplace expectations,” said Melanie Leslie, Dean of Cardozo School of Law. “The CDS externship balances the academic program by building practical skills vital for legal careers in the area of legal technology.”
Recent Cardozo graduate, Trevor Satnick, participated in the CDS CDLI externship program in 2015. Building upon his experience at CDS, Trevor went on to intern at Swiss Re and Shearman & Sterling. “Working alongside the CDS team, I was not only exposed to eDiscovery technology and best practices, I also took part in interactive meetings with high-profile professionals in the world of legal technology,” he said. Among these experts are Ariana J. Tadler, Partner at Milberg LLP, Principal at Meta-E Discovery LLC, and executive director of the CDLI, and Maura R. Grossman, Of Counsel with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and a member of the CDLI Board of Advisors.
Taylor M. Hoffman, a recognized eDiscovery expert, sits on the Board of Advisors for the CDLI. “The workplace experience that externs receive at CDS combined with the top-notch instruction from Cardozo’s faculty give participants in the CDLI program a real advantage when it comes to finding full-time employment,” Hoffman said. “I've been impressed by the ability of CDLI alumni to quickly start contributing to their teams because of these experiences.”
