New billing codes being are expected to be approved by the Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standards (LEDES) organization.  They are working in conjunction with the EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model) organization to create standards for line item billing in eDiscovery...hopefully making it easier for clients that outsource services to eDiscovery providers to perform an "apples-to-apples" pricing comparison of the services they wish to outsource.  There are 34 codes being considered, and the proposal seeks to divide them into 5 categories:  Identification; Preservation; Collection; Review; and Project Management.
