Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Mikki Tomlinson. Published: 2013-02-12 09:00:09 I once again had the opportunity to sit down with The Honorable Andrew J. Peck for an “interview” during LegalTech New York (LTNY). I put the term interview in quotes because it really wasn’t very formal; Judge Peck agreed to visit with me about eDiscovery over a relaxing lunch and gave me permission to write [...]
In years past, getting back to work in the days and weeks after LegalTech New York was sometimes difficult. The challenge was getting past the hype and big messages touted at the show and translating that into real action on the ground. That challenge is not there this year. Instead, we are already knee-deep in real-world projects; it is as if LTNY was not a hype machine, but rather confirmation that eDiscovery and information governance waste must be cleaned up.
This past Tuesday, I had a chance to participate in the eDiscoveryJournal webinar, “TAR: From 10,000 Feet To Ten Feet, Let’s Get In The Weeds.” Without any hint of hyperbole, I can honestly rank it in the top two webinars I have ever been part of. You know a webinar is good when you have a hard time getting all the way through the content and the audience fires a continuous stream of questions throughout. Not only that, but also virtually all attendees stayed until the end, which happened to be fast minutes past the end time.
Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Greg Buckles. Published: 2013-02-19 09:00:54 My email signature read, “eDiscovery Smokejumper” for the longest time. From this you could infer that a lot of my customers sought my services in light of a recent or impending eDiscovery disaster. The aftermath of runaway costs, spoliation issues, privileged productions and general discovery malfunction can temp an aggressive consultant to ‘save the day’ [...]
Information Governance (IG) was much simpler when information existed in paper form. Important documents were classified as records and sent to a central location to be filed and stored. That central information store was the go-to source for information when litigation or regulatory requests arose. There was a certain comfort in having that central control over information. Today, however, times have changed and that comfort level has been destroyed.

As I wrote in Part I, I started the series due to the significant number of questions I had been asked on the topic in recent months. I received quite a bit of additional questions and feedback in response to both Parts I and [...]
Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Babs Deacon. Published: 2013-02-25 11:38:12 I wanted to kick off the eDiscoveryJournal Profile Series by interviewing someone working in the eDiscovery trenches: Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown is the Litigation Support Coordinator of Outten & Golden LLP, a Plaintiffs’ firm specializing in employment law. Kerry-Ann and O&G are getting a lot done with a lean head-count by empowering the whole firm, embracing [...]
Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Marilyn Gladden. Published: 2013-02-26 09:43:38 Since the eDiscoveyJournal’s beginnings, education has been a topic of conversation that has consistently come up internally and with our clients. As we began asking more questions about this subject, such as what people like and don’t like about the educational events in the industry, we started to imagine a program that would not only [...]
Yesterday, Marilyn Gladden introduced the eDiscoveryJournal Bootcamp Program. We are excited to bring pragmatic, in-depth, and actionable advice to eDiscovery professionals in an intimate environment. The current boot camp series covers some great topics: selecting an eDiscovery service provider; BYOD and mobile forensics; Legal Hold; and Predictive Coding. In this article, I would like to go a bit deeper into the Predictive Coding boot camps.

Published: 2013-02-27 19:02:15 I’ve been helping several organizations with their vendor selection process, recently, as well as writing on the topic. Many eDiscovery-ites may be wondering, “Haven’t we bought everything, already?” Of course the answer is that eDiscovery is a cyclical endeavor, which includes periodically reassessing technology, pricing and staffing as practices evolve and technology improves. I recall [...]
