It's Time to Get Comfortable With Deduplication
In the movie "Rounders," Matt Damon plays your typical law student distancing himself from a seedy past life as a fixture in the underground New York poker scene. When his childhood friend, played by Edward Norton, is released from prison and is in need of money, Damon's character is sucked back into the life he tried to leave behind. This makes perfect sense because, as we all know, law school is best suited for accumulating debt, not extinguishing it.

Part of the movie is devoted to explaining what distinguishes an expert poker player from a casual one. This made me wonder: what distinguishes an attorney with an expert-level command of e-discovery?
After good looks, fame and fortune, the fourth thing that came to mind was deduplication. For some reason, attorneys' comfort level with deduplication is usually directly proportional to their experience with e-discovery—the more experience, the more comfortable attorneys are with it.
