13 Kleen Products 13 Plaintiffs in antitrust action sought an order from Magistrate Judge Nan Nolan to require defendants to use content-based advanced analytics (“CBAA”) to identify relevant documents for production Defendants had completed the majority of their production before the motion was filed Two days of hearings, expert testimony, lots of briefing

Proprietary & Confidential. 14 Sedona Principle 6: “[U]nder Sedona Principle 6, “[r]esponding parties are best situated to evaluate the procedures, methodologies, and techniques appropriate for preserving and producing their own electronically stored information.” “The parties had a fundamental dispute over what search methodology Defendants should utilize to identify documents responsive to Plaintiffs’ RPD. Defendants argued that in order to best identify potentially responsive ESI, they engaged leading consulting companies to develop Boolean search terms. During an iterative process, Defendants and their consultants revised and refined the search terms over the course of several months.

15 Kleen Products Continued Sampling procedures were used throughout the process to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of the search terms.” “As to any documents or ESI beyond the First Request Corpus, Plaintiffs agreed not to argue or contend that Defendants should be required to apply CBAA or “predictive coding” methodology with respect to any requests for productions served on any Defendant prior to October 1, 2013. With respect to any requests for production served on any Defendant on or after October 1, 2013 that requires the collection of documents beyond the First Request Corpus, the parties agreed to meet and confer regarding the appropriate search methodology to be used for such newly collected documents.” © 2013 Huron Consulting Group.

16 The Current Approach to Document Analysis Is Not Sustainable – Data volumes continue to rise rapidly – Review workflows increasingly are not scalable to meet demand – Even with lower pricing, costs are not proportional to litigation risks – Most “predictive coding” solutions are fragmented, requiring merits counsel to fill in the gaps Why TAR? 16 © 2012 Huron Consulting Group.
