  • Location

  A Document Reviewer's Guide to Performance Metrics.

  As a group that would rather sum things up in a paragraph than in a number, the growing demand for metrics can be challenging. This presentation will unpack the mystery around metrics and guide document reviewers on how to use performance indicators to demonstrate their value to a project.

  Speaker:

  Kristin Edstrom Satterfield has spent the last 5 years as a risk manager in financial services developing SQL queries and Tableau dashboards for analysis and executive reporting of risk metrics and key performance indicators. Prior to her move to financial services, Kristin worked as an attorney for two years on an eDiscovery project where she used key word searches in Spanish to develop timelines and identify potential FCPA violations. Kristin is a Texas-licensed attorney since 2012, a Certified Fraud Examiner since 2016, and earned a Graduate Certificate in Business Intelligence and Data Mining in December 2017. She is expected become a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt in November 2019.

  This Lunch & Learn event is open to all WiE members and eligible non-members, so feel free to bring a female friend or colleague, and make some new connections. Lunch will be provided and there will be free parking available. Space is limited so make sure you RSVP before it's too late!

  We hope you can make it!

  Dear Members and Friends of Orange County WiE:

  What do you need to do when your law firm, or one of your attorneys, is the subject of litigation? Doing eDiscovery at/with/within a law firm has a unique set of hurdles. From issues of privilege to accessing complex document management systems, trying to ‘do discovery’ when you are the client can be both daunting and dangerous.

  Our September 19th lunch meeting topic: Law Firm eDiscovery: When the Lawyer is the Client, Part I – will focus on best practices to hold, preserve, collect, review and produce documents from your firm’s files, clients and work-product.

  Presented by: Kyre Stucklin, Practice Support Manager, Rutan & Tucker, LLP

  Thank you to:

  Kyre Stucklin for being our presenter, Rutan & Tucker, LLP for being our location sponsor; and Rian Kennedy with Congruity360 for being our lunch sponsor.
