"We are honored to receive this award," said Holley Robinson, EDRM's marketing operations manager. "It stands as a testament to our authors' dedication and thought leadership, which drive our industry forward and set the standard for excellence in eDiscovery.”

JD Supra's Readers’ Choice Awards recognize top authors and firms who were read by C-suite executives, in-house counsel, law firms, media, investors, and other professionals across the JD Supra platform during 2024.

"Thanks for the kind support of my readers and the EDRM and JD Supra teams. Getting the facts straight by hands-on investigations using the latest technologies remains my top priority," promised Ralph Losey of Losey AI.

This year, the awards recognize:
• authors for their visibility and thought leadership covering 33 key, cross-industry topics (10 authors per category)
• firms for their visibility and engagement in the 33 topics covered by the awards (one firm per category).

"We are honored to be recognized as the #1 Firm in eDiscovery by JD Supra’s readers for the third year in a row," said Kaylee Walstad, chief strategy officer of EDRM. "This award is a testament to the incredible thought leaders—our brilliant authors, podcast guests, and webinar presenters—who share cutting-edge education and insights with our global community. Their expertise continues to resonate with JD Supra’s readers, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We also celebrate our distinguished contributors, Ralph Losey and Michael Berman, for being recognized as Top Authors in eDiscovery—a well-deserved honor for their invaluable contributions.

We are beyond grateful for this continued recognition and look forward to another year of collaboration and innovation in eDiscovery," concluded Kaylee Walstad.

Methodology

As the name suggests, the Readers' Choice Awards reflect a deep dive into JD Supra’s 2024 reader data, where they studied total visibility and engagement among readers across many industries interested in certain defining topics of the day.

JD Supra editors chose the 33 main topics covered in this year's Readers' Choice Awards for their timeliness as well as their proven, ongoing importance. In each category, ten authors and one firm were recognized for achieving the highest readership and engagement throughout 2024. In total, across all categories, JD Supra recognized the excellence and achievement of 344 authors selected from over 70,000 who publish their excellent work on their platform.

"This honor goes to all of the readers who cooperate in e-discovery and work diligently to keep current in this rapidly changing field and to my fellow awardees for making that possible. It is a pleasure to write for EDRM and JD Supra and an honor to receive this award,” said Michael Berman, owner of E-Discovery, LLC, and of counsel at Rifkin Weiner Livingston LLC. "In 1971, Ray Tomlinson sent the first email message. It was ’QWERTYUIOP.’ Now, ESI is everywhere. As Judge Paul Grimm wrote: ‘It was bound to happen.… [E]ven addiction has become electronic.’ However, as Judge Iain Johnston wrote, ‘[i]t is no longer amateur hour. It is way too late in the day for lawyers to expect to catch a break on e-discovery compliance because it is technically complex and resource-demanding.’ EDRM and JD Supra provide great resources to the legal community, and I am happy to add a little to that effort."

Along with a top firm in each category, JD Supra also featured additional reader data, including the top five most-read articles, popular related topics, the total number of authors, and other category-specific information.

EDRM’s authors, the Hon. Ralph Artigliere (ret.) and EDRM Trusted Partner, eDiscovery Today’s Doug Austin, were honored along with Ralph Losey with three of the top articles of 2025.

"It is an honor to have my legal scholarship recognized by JD Supra," said the Hon. Judge Ralph Artigliere (ret.). "I am grateful to Mary Mack, Kaylee Walstad, and Holley Robinson of EDRM, and to the JD Supra team, whose support has been invaluable in helping me share my insights. I appreciate this opportunity to contribute to the broader legal community."

“I’m excited and honored that my article on push notifications was one of the most read data privacy articles of the year! Thanks to EDRM for publishing it, and to the readers of JD Supra for your interest and support," said Doug Austin, editor of EDRM Trusted Partner, eDiscovery Today.
