ABOUT NELI

"UMKC School of Law is proud to associate with NeLI-the leading program in continuing legal education on all things eDiscovery related"

- Dean Lou Mulligan

The National eDiscovery Leadership Institute (NeLI) was formed in 2014 to provide high quality educational opportunities to judges and legal professionals specifically focused on electronically stored information (ESI) and to encourage cooperation between and among the bench and the bar. NeLI aims to provide the very best full day eDiscovery program offered anywhere in the world.

Continuing Education Credit

I learned a lot. Lots of great practical tips & insights. Judicial panel was invaluable-thought all panels were well done. Liked simplicity of slides and electronic material.Enjoyed vendor presentation as well-very factual-not a "sales pitch"-good explanation of how TAR works.

Attendee

Excellent, Fantastic Speakers, Good Breadth of Topics. Interaction with panels was very good.

All-star judicial panel-very impressive. In -house counsel panel was excellent...loved how the plaintiffs' perspective was included-all too often, that is over looked.

Lauren Block

I really enjoyed the judicial panel. Frankly,. I could have listened to them for a couple more hours.
