Extract from David Horrigan’s article “Celebrating a Decade of Data Discovery in the Law on May 15”
On Dec. 1, 2015, new e-discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure took effect. It would begin a new era, a monumental decade in the world of data discovery law.
Simultaneously, a new publication and continuing legal education (CLE) webinar launched at Relativity. At the time, the company was called, “kCura,” and the publication and webinar were called the “Data Discovery Case Law Year in Review.”
kCura took the name of its product, Relativity, in 2017, and, in 2018, the e-book and webinar became the “Data Discovery Legal Year in Review”due to Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
It’s hard to call it the “Case Law” Year in Review when the biggest legal event of the year is not case law.
From the dawn of technology assisted review (TAR) to the advent of generative artificial intelligence in the law, it’s been an exciting decade for the law of data discovery.
