Intro to Predictive Coding: Overview & Interpretation of Terminology June 2014 | Page 20

Conclusion
Predictive coding is a powerful tool in the arsenal of eDiscovery.
When used correctly, it can substantially reduce the volume of
documents that must be considered for production or for
evaluation of responsiveness. Predictive coding is not a
substitute for legal judgment, but an amplifier of it, bringing
higher levels of consistency, efficacy, accuracy, and efficiency.
For the producing party, it promises to return more focused
documents more economically.
For the requesting party, it promises to return more complete
and focused documents in a shorter period of time. In many
cases, predictive coding provides an all-around win, moving
litigation to the merits of the case, addressing Rule 1 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure "to secure the just, speedy, and
inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding."
