Published: 2013-03-28 09:00:15  I interviewed Dr. Roitblat last month and I started out my questions with, “what’s with all the technology named for residents of SeaWorld®?” But, quickly changed my inquiry to, “what’s a nice bio-psycho-acoustician doing in an industry like eDiscovery?”  And I’m glad I started this research as early as I did in order to coincide [...]

One of the most important benefits of having been a member of the Litigation Support/eDiscovery community so long, is having made many industry friends. When I say friends, I don’t mean people you wave to at LegalTech but folks you trust no matter where they’re working or what they’re doing. People you make an effort to spend time with and whom you know you can tell your work and life truths and secrets. The reverse of this benefit is that, being in the industry as long as I have, you start to lose these friends to illness and age. We lost Laura Bandrowsky, Practice Support Director of Duane Morris LLP, last week after a long battle with cancer.

As Barry Murphy announced in The eDiscoveryJournal 2013 Research Agenda blog published last month, Legal Hold is one of my research focuses this year. It has been a decade since the landmark Zubulake vs. UBS Warburg decisions around legal hold, and 7 years since the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended in relation to eDiscovery, yet, legal hold still remains a mystery to many. Caselaw resulting from ineffective or complete failure to issue legal holds continues to be regular news in litigation circles.

Published: 2013-04-08 09:00:32  I recently was at the HP Analyst Conference learning about the “new” HP which includes the role of Autonomy in the HP ecosystem.  The event was held at the beautiful Westin Waterfront hotel right outside downtown Boston and there were over 300 leading technology analysts covering the event.Day one started off with a keynote presentation by [...]

After analyzing some of the preliminary results of eDJ’s Predictive Coding survey, I hypothesized that Predictive Coding (PC) would likely gain mainstream adoption in 2013. To date, more than half of respondents have tried PC and are doing so in a systematic way (versus in a purely experimental way). Since just over half of respondents have used PC, there is still a significant minority that have yet to embrace this new approach to eDiscovery and information governance. Our survey data reveals some of the reasons that eDiscovery professionals have not yet adopted PC. While there is not one dominant reason, some of the top factors that keep users away from PC include: Lack of cases that have justified using PC; Lack of comfort with PC technology; and Cost.

Published: 2013-04-11 08:55:38  The eDJ team speaks at a lot of events, webinars, conferences, lunch-n-learns and retreats that all have their pros and cons. Last week I ran our first “bootcamp” on corporate mobile discovery in Los Angeles. The bootcamp concept was to run interactive scenarios on a single topic for 30-60 corporate and law firm participants. I [...]
