As one of the original forms of legal technology, along with legal research tools, ediscovery has been a mainstay of the legal profession for decades. Arguably more than anyone else, ediscovery professionals have been required to not only adapt to new technologies but also master them in order to successfully deal with new data types and the evolving challenges they present for ediscovery.
Discussing his prediction for ediscovery in 2024, partner Scott Milner said, “Anticipate a seismic shift in legal practice in 2024 with the potential demise of traditional privilege logs. The exorbitant costs associated with privilege logging, coupled with the limited utility of these logs, is driving a reevaluation of privilege logs…Expect a push for reforms that streamline privilege logging processes, acknowledging the rarity of these logs impacting litigation outcomes while prioritizing cost-effective and pragmatic solutions.”
