Review

Numerous analyses have established that document review is the most expensive discovery activity, consuming an estimated 58-73% of the total amount spent to produce.  The reason for these significant costs is the irreducible need for qualified people to spend time looking at a significant number of documents to make nuanced determinations about their relevance, their privilege, and much more.  In this series, we break review down into five subparts and discuss each in turn to help prepare you to meet its challenges: what gets reviewed, for what it gets reviewed, by whom it gets reviewed, workflow design considerations, and quality control.
