Launch of the Information Governance Initiative
The most interesting topic of discussion at LegalTech 2014 was not some new technology nor the proposed revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but the launch of the Information Governance Initiative. That is certainly not to dismiss the … Continue reading

Washington and New York to Mitchell via privacy, Singapore and Lobachevsky
The problem with running a website which offers news and updates is that people notice when it lies silent – the essence of news is that it is new. In fact, I have never aspired to timeliness and, as I … Continue reading

IRIS Data Services, a Kansas-based eDiscovery services provider with a world-wide footprint, has now opened in London. I am very pleased to welcome Iris as the latest sponsor of the eDisclosure Information Project. IRIS was established in 2007 by President … Continue reading

Reed Smith: 6 reasons to Insource Litigation Support
A lot of what I write suggests to law firms that their clients’ interests and, indeed, their own, may lie in delegating much of their eDiscovery / eDisclosure function to others. I usually link this to Professor Richard Susskind’s observation … Continue reading
Some predictive coding resources useful for UK lawyers
I am increasingly being asked to talk about predictive coding in the UK, and the subject warrants an article of its own. I will come to that shortly, but meanwhile point you to two articles published in the last few … Continue reading
Short eDiscovery Updates to end November 2012
This post summarises the posts on my Google Plus page during November 2012. I gave up on Google Plus after that for reasons given in my post here, and set up a new updates blog. A different form of index … Continue reading
The use of technology in regulatory investigations
Hobs Legal Docs was the sponsor of an interesting article in The Lawyer recently which emphasised the need to use technology to respond quickly to regulatory demands. Those who find themselves overwhelmed by the timetables for eDisclosure / eDiscovery in … Continue reading
Short eDiscovery updates to 29 September
I was at a Washington conference for much of the week ending 22 September and the updates for that week are correspondingly reduced in number. This selection covers two weeks’ of my Google+ updates. Some of them relate to webinars … Continue reading
Short eDiscovery Updates to 9 September 2012

Proportionality and a choice of technology from Hobs Legal Docs
Recent posts by Hobs Legal Docs remind us that the problems raised by e-Disclosure are resolved by adherence to principles like proportionality as well as by the selection of appropriate technology. You don’t need scientific proof (though it exists, apparently) … Continue reading
Epiq Systems: document review in Hong Kong, Zoom from Equivio and covered in eDJ
eDiscovery provider Epiq Systems seems to be popping up all over the place at the moment. Grouping the various sources together has the benefit, for me as well as for them, that those new to this subject can see how … Continue reading

Reed Smith chooses Equivio Zoom for Predictive Coding and Analytics and Relativity for Review

Greg Wildisen of Epiq Systems on Predictive Coding in UK eDisclosure

Equivio spells out predictive coding basics on ESIBytes podcast
Yet again, I find myself pointing to one of Karl Schieneman’s ESIBytes podcasts as a source of timely and coherent explanations of topical eDiscovery issues. Predictive coding inevitably dominates at the moment, thanks to the coincidence of the Da Silva … Continue reading
Epiq Insights – an eDisclosure newsletter from Epiq Systems in the UK

Judge Peck’s Predictive Coding Opinion – reporting the reaction

Forbes article: Technology assisted eDiscovery and the role of humans

Two predictive coding case studies emphasise time and cost savings
I referred a while back to two case studies about the use of the technology known variously as “predictive coding”, “computer-assisted coding” or, more recently, “technology assisted review” or TAR. One of them involved Epiq Systems and the other Millnet. … Continue reading
Equivio adds Applied Discovery, LDM Global and others to a growing list
It can be quite difficult keeping up with those who sponsor the eDisclosure Information Project, quite apart from the wider eDiscovery/eDisclosure market. Some of them seem to assume that I pick up news by some magical process; others broadcast little … Continue reading
More on Software-Assisted Review as Applied Discovery and KMPG add Equivio>Relevance
Electronic discovery company Applied Discovery and KPMG are amongst those who have recently partnered with Equivio to integrate Equivio>Relevance into their existing eDiscovery applications.

ILTA 2011 – the end of the beginning? We’re just getting going

Three new sponsors and HP buys Autonomy – all in a week’s work

A Flock of Articles on Computer-Assisted Document Review
What tells the swallows to gather on the telegraph wires before starting their migration southwards? One has to ignore, I think, the possibility that the telegraph wires are part of their communications network. Perhaps the birds all use an avian version of … Continue reading
A lull in the Predictive Coding battle
The role of a journalist in war, it is said, is to come down from the hills after the battle and bayonet the wounded. I will content myself with a tour of the battlefield. If this means nothing to you, … Continue reading
Predictive Coding Wars: Recommind Contra Mundum
It is a novel experience to spend a whole Saturday writing a 4,330-word article whose conclusion is that none of its subject-matter is really very important to one’s readers, however much it means to the participants in the story. If … Continue reading
Metropolitan Corporate Counsel interviews Equivio on Processing and Proskauer on Compliance

Keeping up with Equivio
Equivio illustrates the maxim “less is more” in ways which go beyond the purpose of its software, which is “the management of data redundancy in content-centric business processes” . There is something appropriate in the way that a company whose … Continue reading
Australian ediscovery round-up

Far and wide eDiscovery at the Chilli IQ conference in Sydney
Sometimes an unconscious theme develops during conferences. Appropriately, perhaps, given the “IQ” element in the organiser’s name, the point which recurred in Sydney was the use of human intelligence in parallel with the processing power and clever technology to get … Continue reading

Equivio->Relevance brings prioritisation to Epiq Systems’ DocuMatrix

Equivio>Relevance Case Studies – men against machines
