Yes, Goose, There Is a Need for Speed.
Some of you may remember the 1986 hit movie “Top Gun”, where Tom Cruise’s character, F-14 pilot Maverick, turns to his back seater, Goose, and says “I feel the need . . . the need for speed!” Having flown jet fighters myself, I know that speed often equates to whether you live or die in the air-to-air combat scenario. Having flown a desk as a lawyer now for a few years, I find that there is also a need for speed in the practice of law and, in particular, the eDiscovery practice. The discovery phase of any litigation is almost always the single most time-consuming and expensive phase, so anything one can do to reduce expense and time is going to be beneficial.
