Review Acceleration is a series of processes, using advance search technology and statistical sampling and verification, to reduce and optimize the human review of discovery populations. At ACT, we have already used these processes to save our clients’ months of cycle time and millions of dollars and by–prioritizing the human review–and allowing it to focus on documents that are more likely to be responsive and relevant to the matter at hand.
In 1997 Richard G. Braman brought together a group of individuals that were being severely impacted by the spiraling cost of litigation and corporations interested in controlling and reducing that cost. The group consisted of people from corporate law departments, law firms, judges, governmental sources and suppliers to the legal market. This was the beginning of the Sedona Conference, which continues to this day.
ACT has developed a combination of processes and supportive technologies that allow the legal team to reliably and defensibly remove non-responsive documents/data from a collection. We call this “Tier 1 ReviewSM and it’s a new application of the same basic principles every litigator used in the days before electronic documents were pervasive.”
In order to meet client demands to save money and time in the discovery phase of litigation, ACT has developed a new process of categorizing and prioritizing large document populations. The concept is called “ACT Intelligent Document Triage”.
Simply said we have applied the triage approach to litigation where large document populations are present.
