This page is devoted to resources that help lawyers create more useful litigation reporting metrics.
We believe that analyzing document reviewers in terms of documents churned per day is of limited use. Much more important is the amount of information that is obtained from analysis of the document corpus.
Therefore, you won’t find anything like what is being pushed as “statistical sampling” here. We believe that as described, it is more properly described as “defect identification” methodology, –not true quality control. Because it is based on the faulty notion of “keyword search,” we believe it should be replaced with a process for ensuring quality that comes built-into more Agile methodologies.
Rather than focusing on what is NOT happening in a document review, we believe that lawyers would be better served by 1) creating a common pool of questions and 2) relying upon the “user story” concept to drive litigation discovery processes.
Then, we can measure apples against apples, and metrics will have some meaning.
