From the President
This month, we focus on the quickly-evolving world of
e-discovery, an area of the trial preparation process which is becoming more and more complex. Although lengthy, I believe these three segments will provide valuable insight into this subject. I invite you to follow Ralph Losey’s reasoning all the way to its culmination in Part Three.
We will continue to provide you with useful discovery information and tools because we take a genuine interest in the legal community beyond just court reporting.
We are committed to helping our clients in every way we can, so please let us know how we can help your out-of-town and local deposition planning go smoothly.
Best regards,
Sheila Atkinson-Baker

In Secrets of Search – Part Onewe left off with a review of some of the analysis on fuzziness of recall measurements included in the August 2011 research report of information scientist, William Webber: Re-examining the Effectiveness of Manual Review. We begin Part Two with the meat of his report and another esoteric search secret. This will finally set the stage for the deepest secret of all and the seventh insight into trial lawyer resistance to e-discovery.
