Using Relativity As an Information Governance Application
By now, most litigation attorneys and litigation support personnel know that kCura's Relativity is the most prevalent database used for the review and production of Electronically Stored Information (ESI). Relativity is used by many of the AMLAW 100 law firms, Fortune 500 corporations, and over a hundred third-party e-discovery vendors. Attorneys, support staff, companies and vendors use Relativity to support document review on a broad scope. Cases can be anywhere from a few hundred to tens of millions of documents. In fact, it is not uncommon for document review vendors to have hundreds of contract attorneys working across the globe reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents per day from the same database in advance of making a large document production in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or a Department of Justice Second Request.
The process is extremely familiar. A company is sued or is the subject of a government investigation. As part of this action, the party bringing suit or the government makes demands for electronic information from the defendant. The defendant engages an e-discovery vendor to identify, preserve, collect, process, review and produce all non-privileged and relevant documents. The e-discovery vendor utilizes Relativity to complete this step-by-step process that mirrors the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM).

“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
