“In our experience, legal teams often ignore or avoid any data analysis. Too often, they rush into processing and review without a significant understanding of the content of their ESI. This avoidance is a disservice to clients and staff. Data analysis is an activity that yields significant cost savings to the client. With good tracking and reporting, the return on investment (ROI) can be proven in every case.
We see legal team spending on discovery increase unnecessarily when issues with ESI are uncovered too late in the e-discovery process, requiring work to become reactive instead of proactive. While remediating these issues, we find almost uniformly that time and expense of remediation could have been avoided had data analysis been performed on ESI at the beginning of the project. We find this holds true even in the smallest e-discovery matters.”
I do find it bizarre how often people in this industry take a “fire, aim” approach to eDiscovery. Go get everything and then we’ll figure out what do to with it once we start reviewing, instead of taking a long, hard, look at what we have and then deciding what’s worth reviewing.

First you have to apply, which involves sending a copy of your resume, and filing out a form to show some familiarity with the software. Once that is accepted, you have to pass (80% or better) a…
Cross posted from the Child Abuse Survivor site The tech world is alive with news that Google has helped locate and charge a predator based on scanning their email for child pornography images.

“An interesting effect of the changing business landscape has been a change in the attitude toward departed employees. In the past, many companies treated those who’d left (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) as pariahs, traitors, or losers. Today, they’re generally considered a pool of potentially desirable rehires. “ Of, course, this assumes that bridges were not…
