Heuristica is pleased to congratulate Benjamin Szalay-Anderson as the winner of the University of Calgary Faculty of Law Heuristica Discovery Award. This $2,000 award is presented annually to an undergraduate law student who authors the best research paper in the School’s Law 693 undergraduate E-Litigation course. Ben’s winning paper, “Virtual Reality: Encouraging the Practical Evolution of Electronic Service in Alberta,” explores the electronic service of commencement documents in Alberta.
Heuristica also congratulates the School, Dean Ian Holloway and Professor Gideon Christian for their initiative in establishing this important course — a first for a Canadian law school. The course provides students with hands-on training designed to familiarize them with technologies relevant to litigating in a digital environment, including artificial intelligence technologies used in e-discovery document review.
Heuristica, with offices in Toronto and Calgary is Canada’s only national law firm that specializes solely in electronic evidence and complex document review. An important facet of the firm’s practice is providing education to students and to the profession on these matters.
