eDiscovery: One of the Most Critical Components of Your Case
Today, the majority of business documents are created and stored electronically. This electronically stored information (ESI) is a critical source of evidence in litigation. NJL has developed cost-effective processes for assessing, processing and analyzing large volumes of data.
Call it what you will (ECA, Early Case Assessment, Early Data Assessment) involves intelligently analyzing data with the intent of zeroing in on data that matters to your case. A well-conducted data assessment saves you time and money.
We’ve processed terabytes of data, searched thousands of keyword terms, tiffed millions of pages and cleaned up plenty of sloppy jobs performed by other vendors.
Remove unnecessary junk from your dataset and review one instance of each unique concept that exists in your data.
Assess
The first step to a comprehensive e-discovery approach is assessing the data at hand. Call it what you will (ECA, Early Case Assessment, Early Data Assessment) involves intelligently analyzing data to zero in on data that matters to your case. A well-conducted data assessment saves you time and money.
At NJL, we’ve developed an iterative data processing strategy specifically targeted at helping clients with budget concerns. Why process everything when you might find exactly what you need in just a few locations? We inventory and summarize all of your data before full processing. To help you quickly exclude data that has no business being processed, we use a variety of data points, such as:
- Date Range Filtering
- File Type Analysis
- Domain Filtering
- Keyword Searching
