Electronic Discovery – Culling Simply defined, “culling” means creating a subset of documents from a larger dataset. Typically, the most common usage, within the electronic discovery workflow, for “culling” to take place, is after we have collected a bunch of data and before we begin a document review. The goal is to reduce the volume of documents we need to review for production, aka the document review stage.

Pick any two: Price, Quality, Service Although it would be difficult to nail down every litigation matter within the boundaries of the Project Management Triangle (see [link] ), there are certainly some grains of truth to be found. 1. Price – The lowest bid wins! Unless you work for a government agency and are forced to award a contract to the lowest bidder regardless of qualifications and experience, this might not always be the best option.

Trial or Settle? Trick or Treat? I’ve enjoyed the opportunity of congratulating a client on settling their matter prior to trial. Many times. Perhaps too many times. While I do have a vested interest in the case going to trial, I can certainly understand any reluctance on the part of a litigant or counsel, given the incredibly high level of stress and risk involved.

One Exhibit You NEVER Want to See (click to zoom in) Can you recall watching some case where an exhibit like this might be appropriate? This is one trial exhibit you never want to see – at least as the Defendant in your own trial. I can tell you that I’ve seen plenty of cases where a client might have had a decent chance of prevailing, had they decided to try filing something like this.

The Vanishing Civil Jury Trial - In case you’re the only one who hasn’t noticed, there seems to be a trend toward keeping litigation matters away from the eyes of a jury. This means fewer trials in the courts, followed by fewer attorneys with trial experience. Attorney Gary Gwilliam wrote about this in Plaintiff Magazine a few years ago. The "Hot Seat" Although many cases are settling or going to arbitration, there are times when an agreement simply cannot be reached.

Patent due diligence processes take too long. The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
