Summary

Despite years of discussion in the eDiscovery industry about the power and importance of sampling techniques – particularly in the context of technology-assisted review (TAR), many practitioners remain unfamiliar with what they can accomplish with them and when, outside of TAR, they might do so. Beyond just being an essential part of TAR, however, there are opportunities across the phases of an eDiscovery project – whether for litigation of an investigation – to replace guesses based on anecdotal evidence with actual estimates based on formal sampling.

  • Step-by-step examples
