Clarifying the Many Interpretations of ECA
Since the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure went into effect in 2006, global organizations have been forced to reassess their processes and reduce legal spending. The concept of early case assessment (ECA) has emerged as the answer to the legal industry's struggles; however, the methodologies and definition around what ECA is and how to effectively implement it has become extremely confusing. This webcast will de-mystify the concepts around ECA and equip attendees with practical steps for effectively implementing ECA to reduce e-discovery costs and reduce risks. Topics to be addressed in this webcast include:

• The difference between early case assessment and early data analysis
• The different roles of IT, legal and outside counsel in the ECA process
• Leveraging advancing ECA technology to limit the scope and reduce the costs of e-discovery
