We could run circles around the other side in locating documents and information.<br /><br />But at that time and ever since, folks have been marketing litigation support software that was supposed to take the thinking out of analysis and do it by machines. I've yet to see it proved they've accomplished that. I have used this kind of approach for a quick-and-dirty starting point, but the handwork still seems to be necessary.<br /><br />I would commend to anyone who thinks otherwise a reading of Judge Mills's opinions in that Grand Casino sanctions litigation. Yes, I know intentional coverups were also involved, but it appears to me to have started with folks running searches against computer databases and doing not much (or nothing) more.NMissChttp://nmisscommentor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841866593898210279.post-81285690516647985192011-03-07T15:06:07.471-06:002011-03-07T15:06:07.471-06:00Exactly.
