YOUR BLOG Hi, Guys, Finally, how predictive coding perfects document reviewing. Or, does it? Supposedly, the process is fully transparent. It starts with a review of a small subset of the total document population. The documents in the subset are coded responsive or non-responsive, or some such, by the Law Firm Attorneys directly involved in the case. Thereafter, the Law Firm Attorney-coded subset is used to “train” the predictive technology to automatically classify the larger remaining document population. The predictive technology selects the documents to be reviewed by the Contract Attorneys, according to the parameters set by the Law Firm Attorney Reviewers. Thus, the particular documents given to Contract Attorneys to review have already been selected by the Law Firm Attorneys. In other words, they are not "cold" documents as one would expect. Law Firms are of the opinion that inasmuch as only a small percentage of the documents need to be manually reviewed, by its costly Law Firm Attorneys, to develop a subset for the litigation technology to classify, significant time and cost savings are evident. Some of those cost savings experienced by Law Firms include the use of cost-effective Contract Attorneys that perform the document reviews. Too bad Law Firms do not pass some of those savings on to the rate of pay of the valuable Contract Attorneys. Best regards, Diane . |
