LegalTech West Coast 2011: Wedsnesday's Plenary Session Recap

Wednesday's plenary session, presented by two United States magistrate judges from the Central District of California, highlighted the importance of using experts and educating judges when cases involve e-discovery. The Honorable Suzanne Segal and Honorable Jay Gandhi touched on the topics of preservation, keyword searches, privilege logs and requesting documents in their native format.

 

Judge Gandhi stressed the importance of using e-discovery experts, saying the bench thinks that e-discovery consultants get pulled in too late, after the data has already been consolidated. He said that as soon as the complaint gets filed, an e-discovery consultant should be pulled in, and that this matters in discovery disputes in court.

 

Judge Segal expressed the need for attorneys and their experts to help judges better understand their case. Judge Segal explained that it is difficult for her to decide on keyword lists because she doesn't necessarily understand the nuances of each case. With respect to a burdensomeness objection, Judge Segal suggested that parties compare their volume of data to something else judges may understand, like "This is more data than is contained in the Library of Congress." You only help yourself with more information and details.

Day two of LegalTech West Coast is off to a great start after an energetic and entertaining keynote address by Manny Medrano, attorney and Los Angeles television broadcaster.

 

In his presentation, "Trial by Sound Byte: Law in the New Millenium," Medrano shared personal insight and anecdotes from his decades of trial and broadcast experience.

IPRO Enterprise Solution Allows for Complete End to End Litigation Management

Your Challenge

The explosion of electronic data has presented litigation professionals with a multitude of unique challenges with regards to the management and review of document collections.  To cope with these challenges, many have reverted to “best of breed” electronic discovery solution, incorporating an assortment of different technologies for early data assessment, electronic file processing, document review, and production.  Too often, this disjointed approach leads to a waste of time, money, and resources during these crucial phases of the electronic discovery process.

 IPRO's challenge was to simplify your complex litigation environment. The IPRO Enterprise system was designed from the ground up to be a fully integrated electronic discovery platform guaranteed to reduce risk while saving your organization time and money.

 

IPRO's Solution

 The IPRO Enterprise Solution provides the most complete end-to-end solution on the market by integrating early data assessment and processing applications with a premiere litigation review system and database. By eliminating the need to move data between different technologies, the IPRO Enterprise Solution is able to help law firms, service providers, and corporations optimize resources and reduce risk.

 The IPRO Enterprise Solution consists of three distinct software applications, all of which are fully integrated and serve a unique purpose in the IPRO end-to-end process. The IPRO Eclipse review application is a litigation database capable of handling terabytes of data for document management and review. This application integrates seamlessly with IPRO Allegro, an early data assessment tool that is able to provide early insight into vast data volumes and cull irrelevant documents prior to the first stages of review, and IPRO eCapture, a powerful, scalable, distributed processing system that has become the industry standard for electronic file processing.

LegalTech West Coast Plenary Session

The Corporate Perspective: Why the Legal Industry Needs to Embrace Technology

 

The panel, moderated Monica Bay of ALM, included Tim Hart of McKesson Corporation and Brian Renker from Dell. The backdrop of the discussion was the fact that records management and e-discovery strategies are largely driving technology decisions in both law firms and corporations. Of course regulations and compliance are important factors, along with the continual increase in the amount of data both created and retained as the cost to store data continues to decrease. Creating, implementing, and maintaining solid records retention policies is becoming a more and more important function to effectively manage all of this data. The panel discussed the newest IT mantra – ‘alignment with the business’ – and the critical recognition that while technology can be a great thing, without quality people and processes to effectively manage it, technology can also be a terrible waste of money. “Technology is only as good as the people running it”. The panel also discussed what they called “disruptive technologies” including mobile devices and social media, and the importance of corporations not only allowing but embracing the use of these collaborative tools to enhance productivity.

LegalTech West Coast is off to a Jump Start with Keynote on Social Media

(attended by Cindy Moen and Jennifer Marsnik of Edge Legal Marketing)

 

The keynote session held today at LegalTech West Coast was entitled "Social Media and the Law" and was presented by David Pashman, legal team leader of Meetup.com. The session was well-attended ... we guessed about 200 - 250 attendees with standing room only. Judging by the number of attendees and their engagement with the session, the topic is a hot one that many companies are dealing with -- whether they are involved in social media or not. Pashman touched on defamation and the safe harbors that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act offers to social media providers, and presented real world examples of cases and situations within his own company. He also discussed safe harbors for copyright infringement that the Digital Millenium Copyright Act offers. He also told the audience that trademark usage for social media companies is established within their own internal policies, and that these policies become de facto legal standards. He ran out of time, but not before briefly touching on privacy laws and data security. He told us that Facebook's privacy policy is longer than the U.S. Constitution! His talk ended before he could cover all of his material -- if the schedule had allowed for him to continue his discussion, attendees would have stayed to listen. They were VERY engaged in this session.

Catalyst Search Scientist to Present Paper on Choice in Search

Everyone at some point ponders the path not taken. We can only wonder what might have been. But what if we could know where each path might take us before we had to choose? That, with some poetic license, is the premise of a Catalyst position paper that proposes a new way of selecting the best approach to search from among several alternatives.

Rather than evaluate a search technique based solely on its own metrics, the paper suggests, more optimal results could be achieved by enumerating and storing the consequences of actions at key points in system usage. Once more information is obtained through continued system usage, the relative merits of choices not taken can be made clearer. This should allow information seekers to make better choices in the future.

Catalyst search scientist Jeremy Pickens, a leading researcher on search and analytics and one of the paper’s authors, will present the paper June 6 at the ICAIL 2011 Workshop on Setting Standards for Searching Electronically Stored Information in Discovery Proceedings (DESI IV). In addition, Pickens has been asked to co-lead one of the breakout sessions at the workshop, part of the University of Pittsburg’s International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the Law.

Pickens jointly authored the paper, Process Evaluation in eDiscovery as Awareness of Alternatives, together with Bruce Kiefer, Catalyst’s director of research and development, and John Tredennick, Catalyst’s founder and CEO.

“The user of an eDiscovery platform needs to know not only how well an information seeking process is running, but how well the alternatives to that process could have run,” the paper states in its introduction. “Our view in this position paper is that one of the more important ways to understand quality is not in terms of absolute metrics on the algorithm, but in terms of an understanding of the effectiveness of the alternative choices a user could have made while interacting with the system.”

The full text of the research paper can be found on the Catalyst website.

Catalyst Named Inner City 100 Winner for Second Straight Year

For the second straight year, Catalyst has been named to the Inner City 100 list of the fastest-growing inner city companies in the United States (www.fortune.com/innercity100). Catalyst’s selection was announced last week at the Inner City 100 awards dinner in Boston.

Sponsored by Fortune Magazine and the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, the Inner City 100 recognizes successful inner city companies and their CEOs as role models for entrepreneurship, innovative business practices and job creation in America’s urban communities. Companies are ranked by compound annual growth rate based on their revenue over the five years from 2005 to 2009.

With a 39 percent annual growth rate, Catalyst was ranked number 35 on the list.

Fortune Profiles Catalyst’s CEO

A companion piece published today in Fortune, Meet the Accidental Entrepreneurs, profiles Catalyst’s founder and CEO, John Tredennick. The piece describes how Tredennick, while a litigation partner at the Denver law firm Holland & Hart in the 1990s, became aware of the need for a system to handle the rapidly growing volume of documents involved in litigation.

“I used to be able to go through the case documents on the couch while watching the Broncos,” he told Fortune. “Then, all of a sudden, those documents are in filing cabinets, then war rooms, then document warehouses.”

Still at his former firm, he developed a computer system that would allow employees to share files digitally between offices. After a particularly complex 1998 case involving more than 300 users proved the system’s success, the seeds were sown for what later become Catalyst.

Wave Software Leverages Recent Achievements to Excel into 2011

Wave Software Leverages Recent Achievements to Excel into 2011

Company invests in acquisitions, technology, expands operations and adds staff to support industry-leading e-discovery and project management software

ORLANDO, FL (February 22, 2011) - Orlando-based Wave Software, a leading provider of early case assessment, legal hold, project management and electronic data discovery technology for global corporations, today announced it is leveraging its 2010 success to build a very exciting 2011. A year of accomplishments propels the legal industry’s leading e-discovery software provider into growth mode. Recent highlights that include the acquisition of iFramework and E.L. Native Review (renamed as Trident Preview) afford Wave Software the ability to expand its product offering across more of the EDRM.

 

Now, with Wave Software’s entire suite of products, users will be able to filter and cull discovery data, including foreign language documents, PSTs, NSFs and loose files, plus see near-real-time metrics on the tasks being performed. The iFramework acquisition and integration allows project managers to better control projects and meet deadlines because the metrics of their projects processed in Trident Pro will be easily accessible and continually updated within the application. Managers will have access to project data, down to a custodian level, including processing status, volume, and speed. They will also have the ability to track and resource balance multiple instances of Trident Pro, running on the same or varied projects, all from one central location that also integrates with the tracking of team members, tasks, calendars and evidence.

Last fall, Wave Software acquired Trident Preview. This application was built for LexisNexis Concordance® and it streamlines the native document review process by displaying a document without the need to have the native application installed (e.g., Microsoft Office®). Trident Preview is currently integrated into Wave Software’s Trident Pro and the acquisition allows Wave Software to control more aspects of discovery technology from data creation to production and storage.

 

In January, Wave Software moved its corporate headquarters. The new Downtown Orlando location allows them to take advantage of finance, professional services, the large labor force, and proximity to government entities.

 

Another monumental accomplishment for Wave Software was that it won an ITFlorida award for Excellence in IT Leadership in the Central Florida division. ITFlorida has a reputable history of honoring companies that transform, unite and build recognition for the exceptional achievements of Florida's information technology community. Wave Software won this award for the innovation and advancement of its flagship product, Trident Pro.

Since its inception in 2006, Wave Software has experienced a minimum average of 50 percent annual increase in revenue. Trident Pro won the Socha-Gelbmann Top Provider award and in 2010, Childress accepted two bronze Law Technology News awards on behalf of the company and was named in President’s Corner of LTN.

 

“We had a very successful 2010,” stated Wave Software co-founder and President Robert Childress. “Wave Software will use this momentum and success to expand our product lines, while maintaining the same level of service, delivery and results.”

Framework has established itself as a leader in the litigation project management space. It is currently being used by AmLaw 100 law firms to manage work flow, tasks, calendars, evidence, vendors and invoices. Framework’s and Trident Pro’s automated processes and tools allow for an unprecedented view into the discovery lifecycle.

 

Now, as part of Trident Pro and Wave Software’s entire suite of products, users will be able to filter and cull discovery data, including foreign language documents, PSTs, NSFs and loose files, plus see near-real-time metrics on the tasks being performed. Framework software will allow project managers to better control projects and meet deadlines because the metrics of their projects processed in Trident Pro will be easily accessible and continually updated within the application. Managers will have access to project data, down to a custodian level, including processing status, volume and speed. They will also have the ability to track and resource balance multiple instances of Trident Pro, running on the same or varied projects, all from one central location that also integrates with the tracking of team members, tasks, calendars and evidence.

Framework can be purchased as a stand-alone application or bundled with Trident Pro.

“Wave Software is known for its innovations in discovery and litigation support,” said Robert Childress, Wave Software co-founder and president. “We look forward to meeting with legal professionals at LegalTech who are interested in learning about more about our efficient, easy and cost-effective discovery and litigation support project management solutions. Attendees will appreciate how Framework and Trident Pro automate the process.”

To learn more about Trident Pro and Framework, visit them at LegalTech booth #417.
