That is the debate topic for David Horrigan’s Legal Data Intelligence State of the Union session at RelFest Chicago 2026. The cast of eDiscovery luminaries and pontificators (myself) are given 4 minutes to make our case. Since I struggle with brevity, I created a variation on the Gartner Hype Cycle that I hope is worth a thousand words. I based my assertion in an analysis of key eDiscovery innovations that transformed the market and how we meet legal requirements. I hate leaving good research in a note file, so I converted it to a brief (for me) paper for you entertainment and elucidation.
