Coding
Before beginning a document review in a document review platform, counsel determine what information they want to know about each document. A litigation technologist then creates a customized coding panel (coding form) that incorporates counsel's desired information, and document reviewers complete the coding panel for each document they review. Coding is the act of filling out a coding panel for each document.
Counsel often design a coding panel that, once completed by the document reviewer, tracks whether a document:
- Is relevant.
- Is responsive to specific requests for documents.
- Is privileged.
- Is confidential.
- Relates to key substantive issues.
- Relates to key witnesses.
- May be used as a deposition or trial exhibit.
