The Leading Edge of Document Review: Content v. Custodian Based Review Process

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

12:30 pm - 1:45 pm (Eastern)

11:30 am - 12:45 pm (Central)

9:30 am - 10:45 am (Pacific)

Description

Document review is one of the most expensive tasks performed when preparing for litigation. Studies indicate that the cost of review for a document intensive case represents 60%-80% of the total cost of the litigation. The need to manually review documents in e-discovery imposes considerable overhead in terms of cost and time, and challenges the capacity for the legal system to perform e-discovery matters effectively. Traditionally, we have used the custodian approach to document review – the collection and review of documents of discreet custodians. However, when you combine the changes in technology with the massive amounts of data we review – a new approach may be necessary. The content based approach for document review may be your best solution.

Chris May and Bill Detamore will discuss the pros and cons of the content based approach and will focus on:

Where the content based approach has already been implemented – in de-duplication and near de-duplication
Where the content based approach needs to be implemented – in collection and relevancy review
Where the content based approach makes the most sense – in privilege review and issue coding

Duration: 75 minutes (including 15 minutes introductory & closing remarks).
