It’s a bit late for a LegalTech recap, but better late than never, right?

Gabe Acevedo was covering LegalTech for the great Above the Law blog.  While that blog doesn’t usually focus specifically on ediscovery issues, this year they brought in an ediscovery pro to cover the event.  I’m not surprised that people like to tout the benefits of “the cloud” but back off when pressed for details.  There’s still the impression that the use of tech buzzwords will automatically translate to success in the legal field, which is obviously not the case.  In my opinion, there are still opportunities for the right technology team to come up with a great ediscovery product that is useful,  secure and “buzzword compliant.”

The other big thing this year is the emergence of predictive coding.  While this technology has been around for awhile, it’s finally matured enough to be intergrated into some ediscovery products.  I’ll have  a roundup of litigation support products that implement predictive coding in a future blog post.
