Legal Tech: e-Discovery: Judge Says 'NO' to Party's Bid to Force Use of Predictive Coding

By H. Christopher Boehning & Daniel J. Toal

Would Judge Peck's admiration and advocacy for predictive coding lead him, upon a request by the opposing party, to force a responding party to use it against that party's own wishes? Judge Peck recently faced this issue, putting potential use of predictive coding at odds with established precedent and procedure regarding how to conduct discovery.
