Our weekend edition of the “Top 20 … plus more” … a snapshot of some interesting e-discovery blog/web site posts, vendor news/views on a wide range of electronic discovery related issues, and other tech developments from the past week.    It is compiled by Master Sensei Social Media Guru Rob Robinson who is Vice President of Marketing for Orange Legal Technologies, a company that is a long-time member and sponsor of The Posse List and The Electronic Discovery Reading Room.

Rob compiles the information from online public domain resources and highlights key electronic discovery related stories, developments, and announcements.  This is supplemented by the editorial staff of The Electronic Discovery Reading Room. 

Spotlight:  Artificial Intelligence and e-discovery

There has been a flood of material on the web lately on artificial intelligence (AI) systems and inductive logic programming (ILP).  The folks from Clearwell Systems provide an over view and suggest someday it could be used in other scenarios, particularly those in a legal, document review process.   For their post click here.
