Maura Grossman and Gordan Cormack oppose the traditional view that manual, personal review of data by experts is more effective than automated e-discovery. While the efficiency benefits of automated e-discovery are immediately obvious, Grossman and Cormack draw upon recent research to show that automated e-discovery can bring about more easily-recalled and precise results. The authors discuss the research that brought about this conclusion, the nature of automated e-discovery’s superiority, and how e-discovery automation is improving over time.
