Cull Your eDiscovery Documents Any Way You Want
Paper or plastic? If only litigation were that easy. Nowadays, you're going to handle both during the early stages of discovery — paper files and electronic files on CDs, hard drives, and other media. For some cases, you may want to use TIFF images, and for other cases native files. But no matter how you choose to handle the documents in a case, you'd like to avoid using more than one product to process them.
LAW PreDiscovery … in One Sentence
LexisNexis' LAW PreDiscovery enables you to review and cull both paper and electronic discovery documents, convert to TIFF, and create a load file for Concordance and other litigation review platforms.
The Killer Feature
The eDiscovery world is in a state of flux. Half the experts say you should use "native files" (the actual files you collect from clients), and the other half say you should convert these files to a standard format such as TIFF.
The debate is interesting, but you've got real cases and real clients. You need to hedge your bets.
LAW PreDiscovery features a future-proof Export Utility that outputs a load file to suit any scenario. You can export the documents in native format (including .pst files), PDF, or TIFF. You can also export the accompanying metadata.
If you use Concordance, you'll enjoy especially tight integration. LAW PreDiscovery can produce a Concordance database (DCB) file based on the records in the LAW PreDiscovery case. You can choose whether to export the associated files (natives, text, images) to a new location or build the Concordance database without copying the files from the LAW PreDiscovery case file.
Other Notable Features
LAW PreDiscovery works with more than 100 scanners and 2,000 file types, including Microsoft Office and PDF. It also includes OCR technology to make all scanned files searchable.
The new Management Console enables you to manage multiple PCs running LAW PreDiscovery from a single computer. Also new is the auto-indexing technology, which indexes records as a background process so that you can start your review faster.
What Else Should You Know?
LAW PreDiscovery is fully EDRM/XML compliant, which means it integrates with many products, not just those by LexisNexis. You can try LAW PreDiscovery for free. Learn more about LAW PreDiscovery.
