Making the Decision

Is eDiscovery Assistant Redundant with Other Legal Research Platforms?

So, you’re trying to figure out if adding eDiscovery Assistant to your legal research arsenal is just plain overkill when you already have other platforms in place. 

Well, it’s not an either/or decision. The question you should be asking yourself is whether or not your team needs quick access to ediscovery-specific research and resources.

Let’s break it down.

  • Do you worry whether your team knows what they need to know about ediscovery for clients?
  • Do you need or want to have ready made materials for issues when a lawyer calls (e.g. custodian interview outline, 30(b)(6) depo outline, legal hold notice)?
  • Would it help your professionals to have the latest ediscovery case law delivered to them to identify ediscovery issues for matters?
  • Would learning more about how to conduct ediscovery effectively benefit the team (e.g. how to draft protocols, how search works in O365, what tools can be used to collect data effectively)?
  • Are you struggling to deliver regular training to your team on developing issues?

If you’ve answered yes to any of those questions, it’s time to take a look at eDiscovery Assistant.

What is eDiscovery Assistant?

eDiscovery Assistant rethinks the delivery of legal research and resources for ediscovery.  When you’re searching for case law specific to ediscovery, traditional legal research platforms rely on user created search terms and boolean searching to find results. eDiscovery Assistant eliminates that guessing game by manually tagging each case with ediscovery issues (e.g. proportionality, failure to preserve, instant messaging, GPS, etc.) and allowing you to create issue searches that let you find case law in a few clicks vs. several hours. Annual users find it pays for itself for the year with just one search.

But eDiscovery Assistant is more than just case law — we’ve built a platform to help legal professionals learn on demand using checklists and forms for ediscovery processes, defining concepts using our our glossary of terms, and leveraging our eDiscovery Academy, that provides short videos on key concepts for when you’re facing the issue in a case. Not sure how to draft a legal hold? ESI protocol? FRE 502(d) order?  That’s how we help.
