E-discovery has become a tricky and complex process for attorneys. While automated review can be a good option, Huron Legal Managing Director Nathalie Hofman, who advises law departments and firms on document review, says there are still times when linear review is the better choice. In a recent Eye on Discovery piece on the company’s website, Hofman did an internal Q&A with Robert G. Kidwell, a member of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo. The interview offers legal professionals some guidelines on when to use, and not use, automated review.
Kidwell advises against using automated review in instances where there are complex issues or similarity between identically responsive documents. On the other hand, he says it’s very helpful in a situation where you have a very broad subpoena or other discovery obligation and “it’s basically an ‘all business documents’ request.”
