A growing consensus is that the pandemic caused the judicial branch to advance technologically for the better. And there’s little debate that many of the emergency and stopgap measures put in place during shutdowns will continue, at least in some form.

In e-discovery and investigations, time is often of the essence. While artificial intelligence can reduce the overall time of a project, it can also present a speed bump at the start, in part because of the need to train the AI algorithm, and in part because the legal team may lack the AI-related knowledge or resources to get quickly up to speed. A new offering announced yesterday by Epiq promises to provide law firms and legal departments with a longer-term solution to that problem.
