Patrick Oot, General Counsel and Co-Founder of the Electronic Discovery Institute (“EDI”) called today for providers to participate in a study to evaluate the effectiveness of solutions that automate or expedite manual review in litigation, using a document set provided by Oracle. According to Oot, “Oracle is enabling EDI to conduct the technology assisted document review study by providing a large set of its records that have already been reviewed manually in litigation. Hogan Lovells, the firm that conducted the initial review and production, will assist. That assistance will be invaluable since they are already familiar with the documents.” Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe is also participating. Wendy Curtis, chair of Orrick's ediscovery working group, asserts "counsel, courts and clients need a common understanding of what these tools can accomplish and how they support the requirements of FRCP 1."
Oot went on to say that, “A substantial portion of the ever-escalating amounts of money that companies spend on litigation is spent reviewing electronic records to select those that are responsive to discovery requests. When that is done with a manual, document-by-document review, the costs can be staggering. Technology assisted document review has the potential to dramatically lower the costs of selecting records for production and speeding the litigation process. This study provides independently reviewed metrics on the quality and costs of various technology assisted document review solutions compared to manual review. This could speed the acceptance of technology assisted review methodologies by courts and by corporations.”
