1 00:00:04,530 --> 00:00:07,810 Let's conclude with a word about the status of predictive coding 2 00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:09,600 today. 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,250 In legal systems, it's difficult to change existing practice 4 00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:16,450 because of laws reliant on past precedent, which 5 00:00:16,450 --> 00:00:20,850 causes current decisions to be made on the basis of past ones. 6 00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:23,920 Because the types of eDiscovery admissible in court 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,070 have historically been limited to keyword search coupled 8 00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:29,810 with manual review, nearly all cases 9 00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:32,950 today use this eDiscovery approach. 10 00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:36,610 However, this status quo seems to be starting to change. 11 00:00:36,610 --> 00:00:40,540 In 2012, a US District Court ruled that predictive coding 12 00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,060 was a legitimate eDiscovery tool, which 13 00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:47,750 may pave the way for its expanded use in coming years.
