About the Seminar
Whether search terms or “keywords” will yield the information sought is a complicated question involving the interplay, at least, of the sciences of computer technology, statistics and linguistics. Given this complexity, for lawyers and judges to dare opine that a certain search term or terms would be more likely to produce information than the terms that were used is truly to go where angels fear to tread. Judge John Facciola,
This presentation will discuss the importance of searching in electronic discovery and the tools that are available to do it. Search and information discovery and analysis tools, are essential to electronic discovery practice. Collections have grown so large that automated tools are necessary to bring discovery back into manageable proportion with the issues being litigated. The courts are becoming increasingly sophisticated in issues of electronic discovery, and appear increasingly testy when the lawyers they deal with are not up to the same level of competence.
Some of the questions we will discuss include:
· How does search work?
· What is concept search?
· What tools are available for doing concept search?
· Is concept search a black box or a black hole or a defensible way to address E-Discovery?
· What are the risks in searching?
· How do we evaluate search?
If you are unable to attend this seminar it will be available online at the end of May.
