Fios' Mary Mack stole the show at the two-day National Federation of Paralegal Associations' Tech Institute in Denver, July 25-26. Mack, corporate technology counsel at the Portland, Ore.-based company, was the keynote luncheon speaker on day 1, and wow'd the crowd with a speech that was both entertaining and jam-packed with substance.
In a presentation tailored specifically to the NFPA paralegal audience (isn't it amazing how few speakers actually do that?), Mack shared both war stories and concrete advice on how paralegals can deal with thorny EDD situations, which can put them in ethical dilemmas, during her presentation, "The Growing Role of Paralegals in eDiscovery." She offered sage and practical tips about how paralegals can work with attorneys and advance their careers.
She delved into the Qualcomm case, and sang the praises of Judge Grimm in Victor Stanley, among other recent case law. She handled questions with finesse and humor. And she held everyone's attention, without using a single PowerPoint slide. Excellent job!
