Solving The High Cost Of The "Review" Stage Of Electronic Discovery, Ken Chasse Mr.
Ken Chasse Mr.
The high cost of the "review of documents" stage of electronic discovery can be solved by having the client index the texts in its records system.Then the client's lawyer can search that index, thus combining the accessing and review stages of electronic discovery, but do it with the speed of electronic searching, rather than reading. Thus the same advantages are created as used in legal research: 1. indexing, 2. expert researcher, and, 3. the speed of electronic searching. TAR (technology assisted review) is a faulty strategy in that it depends upon "reading" texts instead of indexing them when created or …

Evidence, Probability, And The Burden Of Proof, Ronald J. Allen, Alex Stein
Alex Stein
This Article analyzes the probabilistic and epistemological underpinnings of the burden-of-proof doctrine. We show that this doctrine is best understood as instructing factfinders to determine which of the parties’ conflicting stories makes most sense in terms of coherence, consilience, causality, and evidential coverage. By applying this method, factfinders should try—and will often succeed—to establish the truth, rather than a statistical surrogate of the truth, while securing the appropriate allocation of the risk of error.

Prescriptively, we argue that the relative-plausibility method is operationally superior …

The Chilean judicial procedures went from a written procedure to a hearing-based procedure. This change involved a new design for the trial hearing and, in particular, for the rules of evidence. The meaning of these changes is not yet well understood, making it easier for the survival of former practices of the written system within the new hearing-based system. This paper identifies on of them, which is the exclusion of parties as witnesses.

Chilean Family and Labor procedures went from a written procedure to a hearing-based procedure, but judges are still "thinking" within the written procedure scope.
