Amongst all the articles which have been written on the emergence of predictive coding, aka Computer Assisted Review/Technology Assisted Review (CAR/TAR), it is noticeable that few contain references to any specific cases. There are, of course, exceptions such as the case study Predicting the Future of e-Disclosure prepared by James Moeskops of Millnet in conjunction… Read More »
A sense of perspective is vital to the practice of law these days. In truth, it probably always was! Remember the Lone Ranger? You do not have to have been born in the 1950s and 1960s to remember the show as reruns of this popular series were being screened only a few years ago and,… Read More »
You knew it was serious when the beach in front of the hotel was closed and tractors started up and down removing various temporary structures. It did not need the pool attendant to remark that there was a tropical storm coming to realise that this was going to be more than a bit of wind… Read More »
If you are of a certain age, the song by Perry Como may come to mind, combining a catchy tune with the names of some 15 US States to create a jolly, jokey offering which today seems somewhat innocent and naïve. Anyway, a new name has now been added to the pantheon of judges extolling… Read More »

A number of commentators have reported on recent developments in the insourcing/outsourcing arena. The latest report concerns Chicago based Drinker Biddle & Reath which has set up its own subsidiary which seeks to recover income lost to outside discovery/review attorneys and third party vendors. It so happens that I had had a whiff of this… Read More »
Pheidippides is not a name to conjure with.In fact, it is doubtful whether more than a small percentage of the population will recognise the name or know for what he is allegedly famous. Despite that, thousands of people, possibly millions, have enjoyed the spectacle this summer of the sporting event which was instituted in his… Read More »
Earlier this year, we ran a mini series of podcasts on the Millnet iPadio Channel dealing with the hot topic of predictive coding. While that doubtless left all our listeners with a warm glow, the nights are drawing in and it seems the right time to turn our attention in the next podcasts to what… Read More »
For rather less time, and over shorter distances than the heroic Mo Farah, Millnet’s blog has been running for over three years now. The actual anniversary was lost in the euphoria surrounding the stellar performance of Team GB at the Olympics, followed closely by the team’s spectacular efforts in the Paralympics which followed. Apart from… Read More »
