Article by Gina Passarella, appearing on the Legal Intelligencer, and on Law.com LTN website.
This comprehensive and interesting article provides insight into the impact that eDiscovery is having upon the legal profession, and provides quotes from some of the legal professions most experienced eDiscovery attorneys. The article mentions that eDiscovery can routinely take up 50-80% of the entire legal budget for 1 case.
Among the quotes included in the article, is one from Dechert's e-discovery practice guru Ben Barnett whom said, "Technology created the problem, so technology needs to solve it." In addition, there is a quote from Morgan Lewis eDiscovery guru Tess Blair, "I think we're at the end of the beginning with eDiscovery."
eDiscovery will continue to be an important issue, that is a regular part of the discovery process. However, through technology and increased expertise, costs for eDiscovery should continue to be reduced, and assist in reducing the overall cost of an attorney review. The difficult challenge for the future will be the expansive amount of data that requires review, and technology will need to continue to develop ways to assist with reducing costs for reviewing large volumes of information.
