Frequently Asked Questions

Document review is an essential element of discovery. Before parties proceed to trial, they request information from one another in support of their claims. This information needs to be reviewed for relevance and privilege and may need to be redacted before being produced to another party.

Document review projects gather qualified attorneys and JD degree holders in law firm offices, review centers, or remotely to review and analyze this information. Most reviews occur digitally through software such as Relativity or Ringtail, although some projects still require the review of paper documents.

Reviewers must sort through dozens of documents every hour, determining each document's relevance to the case, categorizing or coding it by topic, and redacting any privileged or protected information or logging the reason for withholding it for privilege. Reviewers who excel at this task may be asked to perform quality control to ensure that fellow team members are performing their duties correctly. Review projects continue until all documents are reviewed or until discovery ends, usually as the result of a deadline or settlement between the parties.
