What is Document Review?

First level document review is a standard part of the discovery phase of litigation. The legal "Request for Production of Documents” is the catalyst for first level document review, the initial review phase that narrow documents down to a responsive and workable data set for later review by senior staff.

Why is Document Review Important?

The primary purpose of first level document review is to determine whether or not documents pertaining to a specific case are "responsive" or "non-responsive".


about


During litigation, law firm associates, contract attorneys and paralegal teams may review thousand or millions of documents to identify whether or not they are:

1) Relevant
2) Confidential
3) Privileged/protected
4) "Key" or "hot"

What happens during initial document review?

In this phase of litigation, documents pass through five specific review steps:

1. Privilege Review: Are the documents subject to the “attorney/client” privilege as defined by client/lawyer rules?

2. Relevancy / Responsiveness Review: Are the documents related to the discovery request?

3. Subject Matter Review: Are the documents related to a particular issue?

4. Summarizations: Highlight and analyze critical points of complex documents or sets of document, including Deposition Summaries

5. Other E-Discovery Support performed as needed for high volume or complex document projects
