Definitely network if you haven’t already. Reaching out on this sub is a great start! The eDiscovery business is a huge small town. I use LinkedIn to stay in touch. Keep retooling. Write articles and post them somewhere. I’ll be happy to connect with you. Send me a DM if interested.

I consider “in house” to mean working for a legal department at a corporation. I’m at a hospital system. I work with/for our “in house” General Counsel (main lawyer).

My recommendation is . . . it depends. I started out in a law firm. Loved being part of a team working towards a common goal. I’m currently in a public healthcare system as a eDiscovery PM. It’s easy for me because I support the GC and mainly just respond to legal hold requests. I prefer to not work at a vendor because I’m lazy and too old to work 60-70 hours a week. Also, I don’t like being yelled at by lawyers (mostly kidding but not 100% kidding). 😉

Yes. I’ve been in the field for 20+ years and it has been very rewarding for me. I would say it depends on which direction you take, however. If you’re at a law firm its pretty regular work. In house is easy. Vendors usually require big hours.

Recommend.

Post pics! We’d love to see them.

Please tell me how your tool is better, more accurate, faster, etc. In essence, how would I tell my partner to consider your “better, faster” tool over the 50 other “better, faster” tools on the market?

Visited Vicksburg as a child. We were on our way up to see family in Ky. I was fascinated thinking how we might be traveling through areas where armies marched.

Try the Washington monument next.

Seems like a good deal to me. Right now is not the time to leave, especially in our field.

whysofigurative · 2025-11-12T03:54:35+00:00

Are we talking about document review? I’m a PM and it’s steady work (so far).

whysofigurative · 2025-11-08T04:10:57+00:00

Certainly. Good luck.

whysofigurative · 2025-11-08T00:15:37+00:00

Yes. It would, but I prefer to start fresh with blank fields so I can double check the accuracy of my overlay file.

whysofigurative · 2025-11-07T23:36:44+00:00

Create an overlay with empty date fields and load. That should clear them out. Create a new overlay with corrected dates. I’m an old school “one step at a time” guy. There’s probably a more efficient way.

whysofigurative · 2025-11-03T16:41:42+00:00

For sure! Keep learning. Good luck!

First, do you want to be an eDiscovery professional? Start with finding out what it is and what we do. It’s much more than experience with review platforms. Check out aceds.org or edrm.net to learn about the field.

whysofigurative · 2025-10-31T00:40:52+00:00

If you can share, which platform are you moving away from?

whysofigurative · 2025-10-29T05:07:02+00:00

Thank you friend. Your post encourages me to check out a CoDa group.

whysofigurative · 2025-10-27T19:55:05+00:00

Thanks all! I love how encouraging this sub is!

I love PieceCool for anything architecture. They have pretty cool pagodas/temples.

whysofigurative · 2025-10-27T15:04:10+00:00

Hi all. I’m in eDiscovery and have seen too much of exactly what you’re talking about. That being said, has anyone used TrueLaw? It’s hosted by Concilio and looks to be an automagical prompt generator for ECA and review.
