  • Technology-Assisted Review: The Need for Market Definition and Where We Stand Today

    Buzz about new technologies always precedes adoption.  And one of the outcomes of  “technology buzz” is development of the market definition to its consumers.  The market message and definition of Predictive Coding or Technology Assisted Review  (“TAR”) is, without a doubt, still evolving and there is certainly a plethora of buzz. The simple fact that we, as an industry, cannot agree on a general term for “it” is evidence enough that there are still a lot of untraveled roads that remain to be mapped.  “Predictive coding” was the first label that took hold as a result of the marketing efforts of an industry leader.  In his February 24, 2012 opinion in the Da Silva Moore, et al. vs. Publicis Groupe, et al. case, The Honorable Andrew J. Peck referred to it as “Computer Assisted Review”.  In the yet to be [...]



  • How to Create an eDiscovery Team that Works for your Organization Part 2

    Creating a solid in-house eDiscovery team is indeed a big undertaking, and in last week’s post we talked about how to determine which procedures should be handled internally vs. externally, and some good strategies for getting cross-department collaboration. Another challenge is determining how far the in-house team will take discovery.  It’s often a question of resources. What is the appropriate EDRM stage to which the in-house team will take discovery? Legal teams first of all need to determine what level of effort they want to provide to Early Case Assessment and First-pass review.  If the staffing is too thin to spend time performing these functions, you will definitely be paying to have your outside counsel and eDiscovery vendors doing it for you. The best thing to do is get a handle on your litigation costs, and compare the charges against [...]

  • eDiscovery As The Starting Channel for Content Analysis and Intelligence

    For quite some time, I’ve seen the eDiscovery market as an entry channel for broader information management solutions. Many of the expertise location and knowledge management applications of the early 2000’s found a home in the social network analysis function that can help in early case assessment and review. Machine learning and predictive analytics are helping make predictive coding and tagging a reality. And, we’re starting to evolve beyond just eDiscovery. Our recent information governance survey results showed that a majority of respondents believe that auto-classification is the future of information governance. Such solutions can help organizations with defensible disposition and storage management.
