An article by Britney Fitzgerald posted on the Huffington Post website.
This article examines legal technology, and discusses technology assisted review.
The article states, "As NewScientist reports, the new predictive coding software could "sift through millions of documents and spit out only those the lawyer might need, saving them time and -- crucially -- their clients' money."
Thomas Gricks, an attorney with the Schnader law firm, told NewScientist that the 2 million emails his team needed to review for a case would require 20,000 hours and cost $2 million if searched by human lawyers. He estimated that specialized software programs could perform the same task in two weeks for just 1 percent of the cost. Despite objections from the plaintiffs' legal team, a U.S. judge approved the use of the technology." A link the referenced article from NewScientist is provided in the article.
The article further states, "In a recent study in the Richmond Journal of Law and Technology, lawyer labor was tested against lawyerbots with predictive coding software. Researchers found "evidence that such technology-assisted processes, while indeed more efficient, can also yield results superior to those of exhaustive manual review." In basic terms, the computers had the humans licked." A link to the Richmond Journal of Law and Technology article is also provided.
