<b>Practice Tip:</b> Taking Conceptual Search to the Next Level
Conceptual search is widely regarded as a technological Rosetta stone enabling faster, more comprehensive, and more revealing evidence review, but its use in the legal community to date has been limited primarily to a handful of outsourced electronic discovery services. At Foley & Lardner LLP, we realized early on that we could take full advantage of this advanced search technology only by bringing it in-house.
To that end, we decided to build a custom litigation support application with concept searching integrated into the document review process. The result, the Foley Electronic Data Discovery System (FEDDS), is intended not only to equip the firm with more productive search capabilities but also to provide the option in the near future to replace Summation, Concordance and similar tools currently used for different purposes at different Foley offices. To our knowledge, FEDDS is the first platform of its kind to be installed in a law firm.
