Document Retrieval Services

Document Retrieval History: Much has changed since the time more than twenty years ago when the CDC v. IBM litigation more or less legitimized the use of computer-based document databases in complex litigation.

In those early days documents produced during discovery and determined to be relevant to the litigation were coded on paper forms, usually by an outside vendor, the coding forms were keyed, frequently by an off-shore keying service, and the product was loaded to a mainframe computer for remote access by attorneys and their support staffs.

About ten years ago this all began to change. The introduction of the Personal Computer, and the corresponding development of a wide variety of computer software specifically designed to address the document coding and retrieval application, did more than anything else to increase the use of the application known as litigation support throughout the legal community. No longer was the use of computer-based document databases limited to large litigation. Size of case, and size of firm, was no longer a limitation when it came to the creation of document databases to support the litigation research effort. Availability to the research and economic advantages of computer-based document databases became readily available to all who wished to employ them.
