Re-Thinking Your 
eDiscovery Process

The most valuable commodity I 
know of is information. 
- Gordon Gekko
Information is a source of 
learning. But unless it is 
organized, processed, and 
available to the right people in 
a format for decision making, 
it is a burden, not a benefit. 
- William Pollard
Information Technology and 
Business are becoming 
inextricably interwoven. I 
don’t think anyone can talk 
meaningfully about one 
without talking about the other. 
- Bill Gates

Analysis

Stage 2 
Stage 1 
Stage 3
Stage 1 Analysis 
What do I need to prove/ 
disprove? 
What are the KEY ISSUES? 
How can I get that 
information? 
Who might have it? 
Where would it be located? 
What evidentiary issues 
will I have to overcome?
Stage 2 Analysis 
What does the data tell me? 
How does the data affect our 
negotiations for scope? 
What kinds of data do we have? 
What is our budget/team for review? 
What tools will we use for review? 
What are viable search terms? 
What problems are we seeing with the 
data? 
How can I structure my review more 
efficiently?
Stage 3 Analysis 
What have I learned about 
the KEY ISSUES? 
What additional data, if 
any, do we need for the 
case? All requests answered? 
What else needs to be done 
to get data to experts? 
How has our case strategy 
changed based on the data? 
What problems are we seeing 
with the data?
Case Study #1: 
Commercial Breach of Contract 
Following interviews, identified and 
pulled 200 GB + 5 hard drive images for 
analysis; additional 65 GB from third 
party (total 500GB) 
Significant ramifications for both parties 
in publicity over matter 
Fire drill — on prod deadline 
Analysis: Index data, further 
discussions with custodians to filter 
data down for review
Case Study #1: 
Commercial Breach of Contract 
Following analysis of indexed data, 
culled original data set of 500+ GB 
down to 12 GB for review — total cost 
$30,000 
Cost to load into Relativity @ $200/GB = 
$2400 
Cost to load all collected data = 
$440,000 
Cost Savings 
BEFORE review = $407,600
Case Study #2: 
Mass Tort Product Liability Case 
600 GB of data provided to counsel in 
various forms, most as TIFF images 
(initial production) 
Value of cases low, needed to 
understand data to develop strategy 
Requested native data; court denied 
Used tool to index data, pulled out key 
doc types and then analyzed using 
search terms, discussion with experts
Case Study #2: 
Mass Tort Product Liability Case 
Total spend $18,000 to index data 
and review it for strategy 
Loaded 1/4 of responsive data into 
Relativity for review but managed it 
according to progress of the case — 
total cost less than $10,ooo 
Total spend for 600 GB 
BEFORE review = $28,000
Case Study #3: 
Mass Tort Product Liability Case 
ESI Role was to act as discovery 
counsel; identify tool and provider 
2 bids already received, ESI scoped 
needs for case and identified other 
providers to review 
Selected tool and provider, 
managed set up of database, 
training and tagging structure
Case Study #3:

Case Study #4: 
Third Party Subpoena Response 
Non-party subpoena response in 
small business dispute 
Data requested was 2 years and 10 
custodians’ email 
Analysis: 
Review data 
Understand timeframe for data 
that was really needed 
Use low cost DIY tool for review 
and production
Tell the client what you 
learned: The Project Report 
Provides a record for you and the client to 
go back to when you need to remember WHAT 
you did and WHY 
Includes all detailed information as well as 
metrics about what actions and decisions 
were made during project 
Especially important due to time lapses and 
employee changeover
Takeaways 
Focus less on the PROCESS and more 
on the THINKING 
Emphasize the NEED to start EARLY 
Make decisions that are best for the 
case and for the long term goals for 
the client
