Better Discovery

This post is seemingly off-topic, but I think lawyers need to think long and hard aboutthe currently insistence on “sampling.”

I think most programmers would tell you that sampling is nothing more than fuel for blame games. It tells you nothing about how to get what you really want, which is reliable data.

I say, let’s back up. Let’s take a look at the requirements (which I’m going to work through as “user stories”), rather than being sloppy on the front end of the process and culling before we even know what the case is about.

E-Discovery is hard, but it’s not rocket science,–we should be able to write requirements and user stories that can be tested, so that we know what we’ve got.

So, read this article and you’ll se what I mean when I say that one aspect to becoming an Agile lawyer, is to embrace “legal polyglots.”

It’s about effective team-building to task.
