The Litigation "Concept Searching" Issue, October
2004
YOUR CASE:
NOT 100% electronic; NOT 100% paper We understand that your case is neither 100%
ELECTRONIC nor is it 100% PAPER. To entrust your case to a company that
specializes in one medium to the exclusion of all others adds project
management headaches that consume your time. This is why Litigation Solution,
Inc. is equally adept at handling all your documents-whether they're paper OR
electronic. Before you take any unnecessary steps contact us today for a free
consultation on how our Digital Discovery Process will save you time and
money.
A. There
is a way for Summation to perform concept searching. Summation has added a
"scripting" model which allows custom programs to be used to
automate Summation functions and alter the application's behavior. One such
script is called ALCompare which allows Summation users to find similar
documents, "de- dupe" databases, and look for documents by content.
It allows you to identify "like-documents" within a case and it
lets you look for documents that have the same characteristics as selected
passages from your important documents! For more information on these scripts, click here...
On the
opening day of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2004- 2005 term Oct. 4, the justices
denied a request to review a case involving electronic privacy, the Stored
Communications Act (SCA), and subpoenas for e-mail stored by Internet service
providers. Farey-Jones v. Theofel (Denial of Certiorari), No. 03-1565 [US Sup
Ct, 2004]. Last February, the Ninth Circuit held that a civil litigant's
subpoena, seeking "all copies of e-mails sent or received by
anyone" from an ISP's computers, without limitation as to time or
subject matter, was patently unlawful. Theofel v. Farey-Jones, 15 ILR
(P&F) 426, 359 F3d 1066 (9th Cir 2004); see DDEE, March 2004, p. 4. The
Ninth Circuit found the subpoena made the litigants liable for violating the
SCA. The subpoena was so overbroad that the court found the litigants acted
in bad faith. The petition for review sought the justices' ruling on whether
e-mail remaining on the server of an ISP after it has been read continues to
be subject to the SCA. This information provided by Pike & Fischer
