Don’t Be Late and Ineffective with Litigation Holds

Joshua Gilliland

The City further argued that since the Plaintiff’s had overly broad discovery requests, they should not be sanctioned for failing to preserve relevant ESI.

Artificial Intelligence and Legal Defensibility – Distinguishing AI Concepts and Explaining in Plain Language

Percipient

We are often asked if we incorporate artificial intelligence (“AI”) into our legal workflows and electronic discovery processes. That is, how the use of AI can be defended if its use is challenged by a judge or opposing party. In e-discovery, models can be tailored to a dataset such as Continuous Active Learning (CAL).
