Article by Kate Battle appearing on the lawyerist.com website.
This article discusses predictive coding, and provide information regarding some recent findings about the use of technology to enhance the attorney-review process during the discovery phase of litigation.
The article states, "In a recent study released in the Richmond Journal of Law and Technology, attorney Maura R. Grossman and computer science professor Gordon V. Cormack, discovered that software using predictive-coding can do a more efficient and accurate job of tagging documents than humans. While some firms may be hesitant to embrace new technology, recent malpractice lawsuits regarding the diligence of human reviewers may make firms think twice. With predictive-coding, the software delivers results based on keywords that are set by seasoned attorneys, and then the software can be tweaked to improve accuracy over time." A link to the referenced study is provided in the article.
P.S. Feel free to comment...what are your thoughts and/or experiences regarding the use of predictive coding? Is it a viable solution? If you work for a law firm, would you be interested in employing such a technique in your practice? If you work for a corporation, would you want your outside counsel firm to use such a process to defend against a claim against your company?
