EVERY day, legal professionals worldwide are faced with the onerous task of sorting through masses of documents of every type. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FCRP) clearly state that all pertinent documents – no matter their form – are subject to the same identification, preservation, disclosure and production requirements. Whether machine-printed or handwritten, standardized forms or free-form blocks of text, any and all relevant documents are required by the FRCP to be produced for inspection or other purposes, without exemption.

Even a small civil case might require a firm to search out pertinent information from boxes of documents: official forms, invoices, letters or hand-written notes. Large corporate mergers requiring extensive due diligence can involve the culling of literally roomfuls of documentation, searching for key data elements, names or phrases among individual pages. Corporate and government redaction efforts are likewise huge in scope, often examining thousands of pages of documentation for individual occurrences of privileged information.

Whether acquiring information for purposes of discovery, due diligence or redaction, documents must be sorted, classified and searched for key data elements. In real world practice today, such documents come in many forms: as data on a hard drive or server, imaged files of previously scanned documents or paper originals needing to be digitized. The wide variety of source materials has hindered many attempts to address these needs. The computerized automation that works exceedingly well for searching electronic data may be incapable of doing the same for the contents of scanned images of paper originals.
