The original quote given was "You would literally have lawyers reading through things saying ' there was chicken for lunch.' You don't need lawyers to know it's a lunch menu, by using the technology it frees up the highly trained e-discovery experts to turn their attention to the matters that need them" . Whilst it is a shame the original quote was edited down, its also a leap to assign that the e-discovery technology world feels the e-discovery experts are 'morons' . It is a shame the article came out as some sort of confrontation rather than the collaboration interview I gave (Although I cannot comment on what others may have briefed on). So the comment "Lynch says e-discovery work …is work that requires little brain-power or legal training" bears no relation to what I said and although less clear the article itself. I guess this episode it shows the importance of facts rather than assertion of views of actions to a person and also the ability to go back and check them...e-discovery in action?

As an enterprise creates an ever-growing mountain of records, adversaries of course want access to it. Knowing that litigation and e-discovery are inevitable, an enterprise can use <a href="http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/05/nix-smoking-gun-e-discovery.html" rel="nofollow">technology proactively to make records</a> more benign.
