The possibilities of legal technology have exploded in the past five years (or so) and it has expanded the scope of practice to include enterprise strategies including IG, big data, etc. Michael focuses his comments on recent analysis that explores why legal technology has been so slow to fully integrate into review practice and he waxes poetic on the impact of a name on adoption…predictive coding, TAR, CAR, machine learning. I think that this discussion is meaningful because it helps eDiscovery professionals assess their own best practices, it draws attention to how the “market” affects (positively or negatively) client expectations and it highlights the power of perception on the legal services industry.
