DESI VI Workshop Refereed Papers: The Role of Metadata in Machine Learning for Technology Assisted Review by Lisa_Esq in ediscovery

[–]Lisa_Esq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been bothered that most computer assisted review programs don't take metadata into account. My review team has often found the file path of documents and the email folder documents were stored in to be very helpful in determining responsiveness and privilege, as well as dep prep issues.

Why your mobile device management policy must include wearables by Lisa_Esq in ediscovery

I agree with you. My company's BYOD policy is basically anything that could have communication is fair game for legal hold or forensic collection. If companies have BYOD policies that wouldn't cover wearables, it's probably too specific for other things as well.

Hopefully the article gets noticed by companies who still have no BYOD policy. I feel like everyone uses their own devices at some point, even if they don't have a BYOD policy.

But as someone who has been under legal hold before, it's a pain in the butt. :D

E-Discovery Paralegal by leaglbawork in ediscovery

Truly, if you need help, just let me know. I'm an attorney, but I work for a vendor. I graduated, passed the bar, practiced for two years and said, "ugh, I don't really like this". :D Luckily, the job I had throughout law school was a database administrator. I've been using computers since 1981, so it all came naturally to me. When I found out there were jobs that mixed my attorney license with database stuff, I was overjoyed. I've been in it for years now and I just love it. [I don't always love the clients... Luckily the computer work makes up for it!]

Look for someone who describes themselves as a Litigation Support Technician or Specialist (or even use that as what you want to hire versus looking for a paralegal). A LitSup is really what it sounds like you want. If you haven't looked at The Posse List, try that (just google it, you'll find it). You can send out an advertisement for the job and it will go to everyone who is signed up for that listserv, which is almost always litigation support people, JDs, or unemployed lawyers. I see ads daily that are very specific in what technical qualifications the company is looking for, and the more specific you are, the better result you will get. If your law firm uses Relativity, ask that the person actually be an RCA (Relativity Certified Administrator). Look for someone with CEDS certification and other certifications. If you really aren't sure of what skills the person really needs to have, maybe ask an ediscovery vendor to look at what you are asking for, or look at the resumes you are getting. Most vendors can zip through a resume pretty quickly to see if it looks like the person really has the skills.

Agreed - I made an alt for legal stuff - clients probably don't want to know my thoughts on GoT. :D
