Question 47

As Kate's team proceeds with review of the thousands of documents produced by Synchromotive,they are finding themselves bogged down by the number of irrelevant documents that were included in the production.They are also finding that the production is filled with duplicate documents,simply because in the course of business,copies of certain items were distributed to many people in the company.These excess pages are causing them to waste valuable time,and are making their client run up hours of unnecessary legal fees in the review process.How can Kate's team save time by quickly eliminating unrelated or duplicate documents? Provide specific examples of how these methods can be used in the case.

What formats would give Electro Tech the greatest protection?

Question 54

_______ is the process of electronically eliminating the duplicates.
