Reinventing Professionals

I spoke with Patrick Oot, the co-founder of the Electronic Discovery Institute, and co-author of a recently released study - Document Categorization in Legal Electronic Discovery: Computer Classification vs. Manual Review - on the effectiveness of technology in document review. Oot will be presenting his findings at the 2009 IQPC E-Discovery conference next week. We discussed the genesis of this study, his reaction to the results and the implications of the research on document review in 2010.
