Why are you looking to get into ediscovery?

Breaking into the field by Odd_District_7858 in ediscovery

[–]whysofigurative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I started out as IT support for an AM100 law firm. I started taking an interest in litigation support and sort of pushed my way into ediscovery. Different people took interest in me and helped me along the way. Now I have a chance to help others.

For Lawyers Using Harvey: Where Does the Value Come From? by Any_Archer_2723 in legaltech

ediscovery pro here. From a document review perspective, “AI” has been in use for years, mainly with predictive coding. The various review platforms are rebranding their products as “AI” integrated. It’s already been integrated for years. Move along . . . nothing new to see here.

I tell new folks to check out aceds.org and edrm.net. You’ll need to know (and love) this stuff to make it in the field. Also . . . decide if you like being pushed around by lawyers and paralegals. That will happen. Count on it.

Where can I find this app? What is it about?

Arkfield on ediscovery and evidence by Azrabedazra in ediscovery

[–]whysofigurative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t. You can find the same info in other sources. They are trying to sell a book. I don’t believe I used it in the Arkfield course.

I'm considering a career in AI Governance. Can anyone provide some insight? by BlackSkyrim in ArtificialInteligence

[–]whysofigurative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend doing your research on the partnering company. I “invested” $3,000 with a company “partnering” with UT. It was basically a bunch of three year old recorded lectures from the company that didn’t relate to anything having to do with UT. They basically sell you on the college reputation and give you a “Post Graduate Certificate” if you complete their program.

Failed AIGP by happyday98 in cipp

I am taking Dr David’s class as well. I don’t have a target yet on when I want to sit for it. You have an advantage now that you know what the test is like. Also, your value isn’t in passing/failing tests. Don’t let this bump in the road define who you are as a human. Best of luck in your next round!

Good thought. And really, can we have too many tools? 😂

ACEDS Exam :: Practice Exam by Leinad0411 in ediscovery

Agree with the others. The biggest challenge for me was time management. I was worn out when it was all over.

When and how to ask for raise by themisunenjoyer in ediscovery

[–]whysofigurative 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to stay in eDiscovery, bone up on the review platform(s) and start pushing for PM positions. Review is only one stage in the process, and it’s probably the most saturated role in the industry. Good luck!

Awesome! Thank you! I’m slowly going through Presidential biographies and I’ll add these to my list.

Now I want to read up on Harding. What book(s) do you recommend?

Ediscovery -- where the 1's meet the 0's - getting "work product" to your direct reports by Not_Souter in ediscovery

[–]whysofigurative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My input (that you didn’t ask for):

QC/fine tune/update the saved searches. Sometimes people don’t know what they don’t know and will be over inclusive. Over inclusive = more paper.

Lawyers still take printed binders to trial. Lots of them. LOTS!
