In addition, we discuss how statistical methods such as random sampling can prove useful for arguing the process utilized is defensible and how to figure out if you are heading in the right direction in an active project.

Read MoreE-Discovery Versus E-Disclosure – How The English Handle E-Discovery
The US system has attempted to become more flexible by relying substantially on effective meet and confers to enable the parties to sort out discovery obligations and avoid messy discovery disputes and unproductive motions practice. Unless the parties agree, this approach is fairly utopian. The English model goes one step further and provides for E-Disclosure instead of E-Discovery.
