As part of fulfilling their discovery obligations, parties may employ technology-assisted review, or “TAR,” in the document review process. TAR is a general term covering the use of analytics and other advanced technologies to add automation and efficiency to document review, such as prioritizing documents for review or reducing the total review population.
TAR is, by definition, a mixture of technology and process used as part of document review. It is document review assisted by technology, not necessarily an “easy button” for discovery. It often can make the discovery process faster, less expensive and possibly more accurate, but at times it can fall short at one or all of these objectives. This is especially true in situations where the process part of TAR may be reasonably called into question, as occurred in a recent decision where a party’s motion to extend discovery deadlines was granted by a receptive court.
