Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Legal Analytics and Review, talk to Ed Rippey the head of E-Discovery at Washington, DC based Covington & Burling, LLP and Bruce Radke, head of E-Discovery with Chicago, Illinois based Vedder Price talk about the increasingly hot topic of Early Case Assessment (ECA). We will talk about common methods used today; what some of their limitations are; how like any database driven task, a bad collection or poor records management at the front end can impede good ECA; and how new technologies like concept searching are making ECA easier to accomplish. This should be an interesting show and given the changes occurring in ECA, possibly controversial in nature.
