This week’s spotlight: the “other” predictive coding case

While the eDiscovery world seems glued to the comings and goings of the Da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe predictive coding case, over in Merry Olde Illinois there has been another case, Kleen Products v. Packaging Corporation of America, which could potentially change the way parties are expected to handle eDiscovery in the future.  For a nice review of the facts and circumstances, check out the post from Matthew Nelson of Clearwell Systems (click here).
