CaseCentral Delivers Radical eDiscovery Predictions and Paradoxical Thoughts for 2011

San Francisco – December 20, 2010 – CaseCentral, the leader in secure, cloud-based eDiscovery software for corporate counsel and law firms to simplify and take control of eDiscovery, today unveiled radical eDiscovery predictions and paradoxical thoughts for 2011.  After CaseCentral’s soothsayers consulted their magic 8-balls and road-mapped 2011 with an Ouija board, the results have been cast for the top ten eDiscovery scenarios:

10. eDiscovery agreements become a standard exhibit of all prenuptial agreements.

9. Depositions rely on social media and are administered via direct messages on Twitter, and subpoenas are served via Facebook.

8. Historical documents such as the Code of Hammurabi, the Magna Carta, the Salic Law and the Constitution of the United States of America are shredded in order to prove consistency with new governmental document retention policies.

7. eDiscovery technology advances to become an end-to-end, fully-automated, system whereby cases are filed, investigated, tried and judged with no human intervention whatsoever, and sanctions and judgments are delivered via Twitter.

6. The FRCP runs out of letters and numbers with 8356889427885631288896(q)(2)(z)(4) and is forced to simplify procedure rules.

5. Legal Hold evolves into Data Destruction.  Data Destruction technologies become self-aware and begin seeking and destroying data across the Internet and within corporations and law firms.  A ragtag group of technologists band together to fight an inspired guerilla war for the salvation of mankind.

4. Las Vegas casinos enter the eDiscovery industry by providing odds on random sample review sets.

3. eDiscovery mandates motivate employees to stop sending inappropriate emails.

2. The volume of new electronic data begins a long and precipitous decline.  Lawyers and IT who had refused to do anything about eDiscovery say, “I told you so.”

1. Mankind risks extinction after all human communications cease. Why did all human communication stop? Because eDiscovery risk, liability and cost is too high.

“Someone once said 640K ought to be enough for anybody,” said Steve d’Alencon, Chief Mystic and Imagineer, CaseCentral. “That type of visionary insight parallels the unique findings that our eDiscovery soothsayers discovered while buried deep in the CaseCentral catacombs.” 

Disclaimer: Although we like to poke fun at all things eDiscovery, CaseCentral does not believe that any of these bizarre occurrences will actually happen. However, we are serious about eDiscovery and the coming year. Please read CaseCentral’s 2011 eDiscovery predictions to learn more.  Or, if you just want more laughs, check out our Case in Point eDiscovery cartoons.   Have a very happy and safe holiday!
