The word “Venio” is derived from Latin and means “to arise; to come about.”  Our ideas are “coming about” into the E-Discovery market by having pulled our resources together and introducing a cutting edge E-Discovery software solution created to save legal, government and corporate industries time and money called Venio FPR™.

Our Venio FPR™ platform allows forensic units, attorneys and litigation support teams to analyze data, provide an early case assessment, a total case assessment and a first pass review of any size data set. Unlike other E-Discovery management platforms, ours can export to ALL industry standard litigation support applications while providing extensive reporting options…

FlexReview combines manual review and Cataphora’s Technology Enhanced Review, offering the best advantages of each. It is specially suited to changing review circumstances, including expanding volumes of data, looming deadlines, and unanticipated issues that need closer expert examination.

Manual review is labor intensive but is also tried and true. It is viewed as the gold standard, particularly for potentially sensitive data. It remains widely accepted as an adequate standard for review.

Cataphora’s Technology Enhanced Review offers an invaluable complement to manual review. Its results are measurable, transparent, and defensible, according with judicial rulings and widely-accepted scientific principles. Its use within FlexReview saves time and slashes costs compared with a purely manual approach.

What in the world is going on with our state attorneys general?

First there was the amazing Andrew Shirvell, former Michigan assistant attorney general. Shirvell used every form of media, social and otherwise, to stalk make people aware of the demonic student body president of the University of Michigan, Chris Armstrong. Shirvell claimed that Armstrong, who is openly gay, was imposing his notorious “homosexual agenda” on the Wolverine faithful, and had to be stopped. After being banned from the University of Michigan campus and allegedly lying to his boss, Attorney General Mike Cox, Shirvell was finally relieved of his duties.

Last week, another news item caught my interest. Jeffrey Cox, a deputy attorney general in Indiana (no relation to the AG from Michigan), tweeted the liberal magazine Mother Jones that live ammunition should be used against the protestors at the Wisconsin Capitol. A few hours later, he was fired.

Such quick and harsh punishment struck me as going a bit overboard, and it seems that Jeff Cox might have a cause of action on his hands…

Here is my newest post from Above The Law. LegalTech begins tomorrow. Keep following this blog and Above The Law, as I will be posting updates from the conference.

The pregame show for LegalTech New York 2011 has been in full swing the last few weeks. Vendors and their PR reps have been constantly reaching out via emails, text messages, phone calls, and smoke signals, to contact industry experts, “thought leaders,” law firm decision makers, members of the media, and, perhaps most importantly, knuckleheads like me. All are doing their best to generate “buzz” before they announce their new products, alliances, services — fill in the blank as you see fit — at the conference.

Then, at 9:00 AM on Monday, LegalTech New York will open with what I am certain will be a riveting keynote address from Gabriel Buigas, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Hewlett Packard, entitled Legal vs. IT: Turn the Battle into a Solution to Meet Compliance. At that point, everything will reach a crescendo.

Well, not exactly.

Don’t get me wrong; I am sure Gabriel Buigas will give an excellent speech. But the real action will begin at 10 AM, when the doors to the exhibit hall open. That is when all hell breaks loose, and hundreds of technology vendors will be eagerly waiting to share with you the great news about their respective companies.

With that as a backdrop, here is some of what I expect to see at this year’s LegalTech….

Continue reading at Above The Law, or speaking of pregame, if you click over to the flip side, you can see three pics from a very amateur photographer on what life looks like the day before LegalTech.

This is either where the keynotes will be given or a plenary session — or both.

This is a photo of the exhibit hall now, it is amazing how they get this thing to look in 24 hours.

Westlaw had control of a bunch of big screens last year. This year it looks like Lexis is filling that role.
