There has been a rapid growth in electronically stored information that is potentially useful for e-discovery in litigation. Because more data storage means higher costs, organizations are searching for new ways to store their information efficiently and cost effectively while at the same time not limiting access throughout discovery, a process which can sometimes last for months or years. It is important for litigators and large c...

On this episode of the ESI Report, host Michele Lange interviews portfolio management ex...

While 2012 was the battle ground in which the “disruptive” technology-assisted review and its early adopters emerged victorious, 2013 provided something of a “back to basics” approa...

The left side of the E-Discovery Reference Model is often overshadowed by the right side, Technology Assisted Review.
