In a legal context, document reviewing concerns the examination of files, reports, and other written articles during the discovery phase of the legal process, the phase in which evidence is exchanged by both sides of a case to establish the basis on which the case will turn. Some cases involve little to no document reviewing, such as only the examination of police reports. But others involve document review that requires a special team of reviewers to help attorneys glean crucial information. There are two situations that generally call for a team of reviewers: documents that are lengthy, such as transcripts produced by an unusually high number of deponents, or documents whose contents require specialized expertise to understand, such as scientific materials.
The Benefits of a Document Review Center
Regardless of why an entity needs document analysis, it usually needs it fast, a situation that benefits from retaining review services through a legal support agency that offer review centers with the following benefits: 24-hour a day availability, secured card-key access, manned security stations, redundant power, pre-installed technology, private offices, kitchen facilities, Internet carousels, and office equipment. Law firms and corporations often find a review center by retaining support through a nationwide or worldwide court reporting agency. Unbeknownst to outsiders, top court reporter agencies do more than supply court reporting; they also offer various legal support services, one of which is document review.
The Advantages of Using a Court Reporting Agency
There are several advantages to using a court reporting agency for reviewing, but two stand out in particular: the agencies also offer documents retrieval, which is often the first step in the reviewing process; and they also offer complex litigation services to help with cases that feature one or more aspects that make them more difficult than normal cases, such as a large number of deponents, a narrow time frame within which to be brought to court, or the presence of voluminous and/or difficult to understand material. When entities seek analysis services through reporting agencies, they can receive the aid of complex litigation specialists that will perform reviews at a client location or one of the reporting agency's reviewing centers.
In addition to making sense economically, retaining document analysis through a court reporter agency is also beneficial due to the other services that an agency offers, which could prove beneficial to their clients in the future, such as temporary legal staff placement, various reporting technologies, deposition services, legal software training, case management, and video services, to name a few. To learn more about how an agency's services could improve your file and report analysis, call a nationwide reporting agency and discuss your current and anticipated legal support needs today.
In my research on the ideal legal document review center, I've found that the National Network of Document Review Centers sets the standard.
