The eDiscovery Institute has changed its name and website ? to The Law Institute ? www.lawinstitute.org ? and is kicking off a survey on options for processing voice files as part of discovery, reports Joe Howie, director of metrics development and communications.

The institute is asking vendors to provide information about how they handle voice files, with the goal of "providing lawyers with information on the different options open to them for identifying relevant records, along with reasonable expectations for retrieval accuracy as well as the time and computing resources required to perform the processing," he says.

There are no fees for participating in the survey, nor will there be fees charged for the electronic version of the survey report," Howie notes.

 

The deadline for submissions is March 21, 2011. Howie requests that organizations planning to take the survey contact him at  Joe@eDiscoveryInstitute.org.
