Predictive Coding Software Sifts Through Documents Better

An article by Luis Salazar published by the Daily Business Review and posted on law.com on the LTN webpage.

This article discusses predictive coding, and the recent order of Magistrate Judge Peck, which was upheld by Judge Carter in an order entered April 26th.

The article states, "There are a number of important points for legal professionals to take from the decision. First, in high-stakes, high-data litigation, the use of intelligent technology like predictive coding is inevitable, and failure to use it may ultimately be a strategic risk.

Second, quality control in the customizing of the predictive-coding search process to the specific case is critical to both its success and its permissibility as a discovery tool.

But in order for predictive coding to be used effectively, transparency between opposing counsel as to its use is indispensable. And, lawyers must embrace -- perhaps they even have a duty to embrace -- this technology as a critical tool in delivering cost-effective services to their clients."
