Question 1

Technology-Assisted Review (TAR), also known as predictive coding, is used in e-discovery to:

Accepted Answer

Use machine learning algorithms trained on attorney review decisions to classify large document sets for relevance

Answer

TAR uses machine learning algorithms trained on a seed set of attorney-reviewed documents to predict relevance across a large document population, improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness of large-scale reviews.

Question 2

Under FRCP Rule 37(e), a court may impose sanctions for failure to preserve ESI only if:

Accepted Answer

ESI that should have been preserved is lost because a party failed to take reasonable steps and the ESI cannot be restored

Answer

FRCP Rule 37(e) allows sanctions only when ESI that should have been preserved under a litigation hold is lost due to a party's failure to take reasonable steps, and the ESI cannot be restored or replaced through additional discovery.

Question 3

When parties negotiate the 'form of production' for ESI, they are primarily deciding:

Accepted Answer

The file format and whether metadata will be included when documents are produced

Answer

Form of production refers to the file format (e.g., native files, TIFF images with load files, PDF) and whether metadata will be produced along with the documents, which significantly affects usability and cost.

Question 4

Global deduplication in e-discovery processing eliminates:

Accepted Answer

Identical documents across the entire document collection regardless of which custodian possessed them

Answer

Global deduplication removes exact duplicate documents across the entire collection, reducing review volume by eliminating documents that multiple custodians received, as opposed to per-custodian deduplication.

Question 5

Metadata in ESI production is significant in e-discovery because it:

Accepted Answer

Provides context such as creation date, author, modification history, and file path that can be critical evidence

Answer

Metadata embedded in ESI provides critical context including who created or modified a document, when it was accessed, and where it was stored, all of which can serve as important evidence in litigation.
