DiscoverReady Launches New Samplyzer Discovery Tool for Legal Staff

DiscoverReady Launches New Samplyzer Discovery Tool for Legal Staff

By Jody Ray Bennett

A new tool from DiscoverReady, a source of legal discovery management services for corporate legal departments around the world, was announced today which would give lawyers and other legal professionals access to powerful statistical analysis services without the cost of outside experts.

Called the Samplyzer, the new tool simplifies the sampling of legal statistics for both quality and review purposes, allowing professionals to more easily refine search results and ultimately find what they’re looking for.

It will incorporate existing DiscoverReady best practices and integrate with the Relativity platform, according to dailyfinance.com.

Jim Wagner, CEO at DiscoverReady, explained that as statistical sampling was quickly becoming essential to the legal professions, the need for a widely-available tool to simplify the work was clear.

The Samplyzer efficiently measures the applicability, precision and efficacy of potential search terms, assesses the quality of review decisions made by an attorney, increases the sophistication of automated review and predictive coding, and creates budgets, timelines and volumes for future discovery matters.

The Samplyzer tool also includes a user guide, drawing from the experience of DiscoverReady’s experts, and a “Defensibility Binder” which facilitates the documentation and presentation of the sampling and measurement process and its results.

According to senior vice president of DiscoverReady, Maureen O’Neill, legal professionals have much more practice performing qualitative analysis versus quantitative analysis. Their Samplyzer tool, she said, provides those professionals without a background in statistical sampling the opportunity to improve their discovery processes.

Dr. Gary Lorden, professor emeritus of Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology, was put on retainer by DiscoverReady as an independent consultant on the Samplyzer tool. His work with DiscoverReady included the creation of protocols and documentation designed to ensure that the tool and its results would hold up to the scrutiny of judges and opposing legal professionals.

On top of his work at CalTech, Dr. Lorden has been active in the field of consulting for some time now, working on classified research projects with both NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a number of other government agencies.
