			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theposselist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Ben-Hur.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7204" title="Ben-Hur" src="http://www.theposselist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Ben-Hur-300x240.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">15 November 2011 &#8211; As we have written before (our most recent post <em><strong><a href="http://bit.ly/qw72qU " target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">is here</span></a></strong></em>) the most common complaints from the contract attorney world is that the work is mind-numbing and monotonous, affording none of the intellectual stimulation that a lawyer should expect.  There is often little or no quality control.  What supervision reviewers get usually has more to do with the schoolroom than with the law office, and generally focuses on production levels, tardiness, talking, number and length of breaks, etc.  Under those demoralizing conditions, mistakes are inevitable, and careless, unprofessional work is common. The result is the infamous <em>McDermott</em> case which has become a prime example of the myriad ethical problems in modern, assembly-line document review.   </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Expanding on this theme, but with much more detail and with positive suggestions about what can be done and should be done, is Lawrence Chapin, an attorney with forty years experience in the law who has been working, <a title="Find users with this keyword" href="http://www.linkedin.com/search?search=&amp;school=Union+Theological+Seminary&amp;sortCriteria=R&amp;keepFacets=true&amp;goback=%2Efps_PBCK_larry+chapin_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*2_*1_Y_*1_*1_*1_false_1_R_*1_*51_*1_*51_true_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2"></a>for the last eighteen months, as a contract review lawyer on projects in New York City and Richmond, Virginia.  He is also a recent graduate of the <em>e-Discovery Team Training</em> program run by Ralph Losey.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a special post on Ralph’s blog, Larry emphasizes that contract reviewers should become/can become more valuable to a project when they are wisely employed in a project.  Their talents and potential contributions to a project are often wasted.  </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We all know that technology is driving much of the drudgery in document review.  But technology has become so important to the industry.  We recently attended the two premier corporate counsel events of the year, the <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/sJyoHW" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">IQPC Corporate Counsel Exchange in Amsterdam</span></a></strong>  and the <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/txAkxF " target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">Association of Corporate Counsel annual meeting</span></a></strong> in Denver which we will detail in two lengthy posts in the next two weeks.   Between the two events we had the opportuntity to chat with 35+ corporate counsel (we&#8217;ll include some video interviews in our upcoming posts) and discussed everything from the new role of corporate counsel, the overall need to reduce corporate legal spend, third-party funding of litigation, privacy issues and social media, and &#8230; most importantly &#8230; the technology they have brought in-house to control e-discovery cost and the technology their outside attorneys and consultants use overall for e-discovery.   One of the overriding themes from both events was:  <em>&#8220;yes, we need lawyers (both in-house and temporary) but lawyers who are data geeks!!&#8221; </em> And by that they meant attorneys who can handle the technical aspects of modern legal data analysis, who have some computer science background, statistics and math skills, who have or can learn the skills for legal data visualization, imaginative ways to turn legal data into actionable intelligence. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So could technology help to redeem the contract attorney industry?  Larry seems to think so.  He makes numerous excellent points and we urge you to read his full analysis.  For the full post <strong><em><a href="http://bit.ly/s6UADh " target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></em></strong>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">10 August  2011 &#8212; One of the more contentious issues in e-discovery is the value of e-discovery certification.  Rebecca James, Esq. (Program Manager at Fios, Inc.) has been running a series on that topic.   As she points out while “there was skepticism and a lack of consensus on the importance of credentialing … minds were generally open to this growing trend.”  The series covers all views, pro and con, and includes all the leading experts and pundits in the e-discovery world. </p>
<p>Part 1 queried lawyers on the topic (<strong><em><a href="http://www.discoveryresources.org/technology-counsel/sound-evidence/on-the-fence-part-i/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></em></strong>) </p>
<p>Part 2 queried litigation support leaders (<strong><em><a href="http://www.fiosinc.com/publications/newsletter_article.aspx?id=794&amp;cid=edc110616aa" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></em></strong>)    </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Part 3 is the feedback from the leaders of the credentialing organizations and a look inside the e-discovery certification programs (<em><strong><a href="http://www.discoveryresources.org/technology-counsel/sound-evidence/on-the-fence-%E2%80%93-part-iii/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></strong></em>).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And for a good source of e-discovery material access the Fios Knowledge Center (<strong><em><a href="http://www.fiosinc.com/e-discovery-knowledge-center/default.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></em></strong>).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theposselist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Malpractice-150x150.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7172" title="Malpractice 150x150" src="http://www.theposselist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Malpractice-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1 August 2011 &#8211; Over the weekend we posted an update on the McDermott e-discovery malpractice case involving contract attorneys, vendors and privilege.  The case involves a allegedly botched privilege review.  For that post <strong><em><a href="http://bit.ly/ojKBYF" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></em></strong>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The response from the List was enormous.  We received 980+ emails commenting on our post and the case.  </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have written a number of posts about the technological changes that have reshaped the legal industry (we hesitate to call it a profession) with a focus on what Richard Susskind, Ralph Losey and Jordon Furlong (among others) have wriiten about these past few years:  the deep and rapid technological advances (of the disruptive kind) that have led to relentless connectivity, the burgeoning electronic legal marketplace and the “decomposition of legal tasks” into component parts that can be delegated to various sources: in-sourcing, relocating, offshoring, outsourcing, subcontracting.  It has led to reducing costs for repetitive processes such as regulatory filings, document review, etc.  It has simply commoditized large sections of the law, especially document review. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The law simply became another business, just a Law Factory.  It took the precepts of Clayton Christensen’s <em>The Innovators Dilemma</em> who introduced one of the most influential business ideas of our time &#8212; “disruptive innovation”, penned in 1996.   In the case of document review law firms adopted the cost-saving manufacturing principle of “just-in-time” production, and applied it to a service industry: hire attorneys “just when you need them” but only on a short-term, part-time basis.  And to make it even further removed from any hint of a profession move it to “managed review” and document review centers and out of the realm of law firms.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Result?  The McDermott case.  As many of you wrote, this case is a prime example of the myriad ethical problems in modern, assembly-line document review.   </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And that’s what document reviews are today: performance under under assembly-line conditions by temps (not always lawyers) who often work 60 or 70 hours a week, ten or twelve hours a day, at rates ranging from $12.50 to $35 an hour (for English-language reviews) who are summarily fired if they fail to meet arbitrary production quotas. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As several of you wrote:  “the work is mind-numbing and monotonous, affording none of the intellectual stimulation that a lawyer should expect.  There is often little or no quality control.  What supervision reviewers get usually has more to do with the schoolroom than with the law office, and generally focuses on production levels, tardiness, talking, number and length of breaks, etc.  Under those demoralizing conditions, mistakes are inevitable, and careless, unprofessional work is common.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A large number of you  pointed out reviews in DC and New York where reviewers were improperly instructed on privilege by  junior associates and/or case administrators who obviously did not know the difference between the attorney-client privilege and the attorney-work-product doctrine.  The general response?  Above our pay grade.  Don’t target yourselves by pointing out that masses of privileged communications that will be produced as a result.   We need this job.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The “schoolroom” working conditions and poor training can only be demoralizing for lawyers and will do nothing but produce indifference to standards of “professional” competence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And as several of you said “instead of addressing these problems by improving working conditions, quality control, etc., the legal staffing agencies seem to be responding by requiring temps to sign indemnification agreements, whereby the temps agree to hold the agencies and their clients, the law firms, harmless against all claims arising out of the temps&#8217; work”.  Normally, employers buy liability insurance to cover the errors and omissions of their employees.  This oppressive tactic reverses that arrangement, and makes the individual employee the insurer of his or her employer and its client. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And let’s face it:  temps aren&#8217;t paid enough to cover malpractice insurance, so those who sign such contracts are simply hoping nothing bad will happen.  The McDermott case names 100 John Doe lawyers as defendants, presumably referring to the temps who worked on that review.  But one good thing is that according to Hudson they do not require temps to sign indemnification agreements.  If they had, those 100 John Does would be looking at the possibility of thousands of dollars in personal liability, for which McDermott&#8217;s malpractice insurer would certainly pursue them.  Remember that when asked to sign an indemnification agreement.</p>
<p>The case slogs on.  We keep you up-to-date best we can.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">30 July 2011 &#8212; As we had reported in a previous post, the world’s first e-discovery malpractice lawsuit was filed in State Court in California against McDermott Will &amp; Emery.  The case has been rocketing around the internet, striking fear in the heart of the e-discovery community.  The case involves a privilege filter through which all the collected documents were reviewed that reportedly was botched and resulted in McDermott delivering to the US government &#8220;documents that were not responsive to [government] subpoenas and were also attorney-client privileged.”  An amended complaint has just been filed with more details about the review, the contract attorneys hired, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For a summary of the case from the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists web site <strong><em><a href="http://aceds.org/news/former-mcdermott-client-amends-malpractice-complaint-naming-hudson-legal-and-navigant-service--0" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">click here</span></a></em></strong>.</p>
