What do they typically do? Do they just organize papers? Is there any writing involved?

it wasn't the only thing i did, but it was a pretty big part of it, i wrote a few pages every week, if that, how many hours did i spend writing? maybe 5-6, of course half of those were fucking around hanging out with some chill korean bros and some hot korean girls.

I have never done doc review, but one of my good buddies does it full time for a living. my understanding is that they sit at computer terminals and spend all day being presented with documents through that terminal. they must review each document and hit a button on the terminal, saying whether or not that document is relevant to the case at hand.

"I was in your situation too. Doc review is practically the only work I have done since graduation. The bitter disappointment and despair of realizing that this is what it has come to in order to feed yourself is soul-crushing. You are not treated as a professional; you are a merely a warm body and a statistic. Lock you phone away. Internet is blocked. No talking. Sign out when you go to the bathroom."

it's all electronic. all the docs are uploaded and you look at them electronically (well 99.5% of them).

the doc viewer software (there are a ton of competitors out there and they all suck) usually will have a feature that highlights a key name or a phrase for you as you look at the doc. you're *supposed* to read through the whole doc, but in reality you just look at the highlighted portion and get a sense of what the doc is about.

the doc viewer system also will have some sort of checkbox feature on the right allowing you to "tag" the document as all sorts of things: responsive, non-responsive, privileged, "hot," things like that.

nowadays much of the "first level" review is done by people in india, no joke. they'll review to make sure it's, for example, "responsive" or "non-responsive" (to whatever the subpoena requests).

these days at the biglaw level you're doing "second level" review -- making sure the docs are responsive, flagging docs that seem particularly damaging or "hot," etc. -- or "privilege review" (determining whether the doc is protected by some privilege).

i have no idea why i just typed this all out

Plaintiff sues your client, MEGACORP for [dumping 5000 gallons of paint into a river and giving everyone a terrible disease].

Plaintiff asks MEGACORP to produce every document in your possession since 1998 discussing paint.

MEGACORP hires your firm.

Your firm goes down to MEGACORP'S server room with some IT dorks from a document processing company. They discover that there are 300,000 emails sent between MEGACORP'S 10,000 employees since 1998 that have the word "paint" in them. They put them all into a database.

You, as super smart and important first year litigation associate (or contract attorneys managed by you if the client is smart enough to ask for them) sit at your computer for 8-10 hours a day looking at each one of these 300,000 emails.

If the email talks about the company's third quarter 2001 paint production volumes and does not contain legal advice, you click a button on your screen that says "responsive to RFP 1"

If the email is from Sue in accounting to Sally in marketing asking "what color should I paint my new house?" you click "not responsive."

If the email is from a lawyer saying "OUR PAINT KILLS PEOPLE PLEASE CALL ME ASAP TO DISCUSS" then you click privileged.

If the email is from Bob, a truck driver for MEGACORP to his buddy saying "I just dumped gallons of paint in some fucking lame ass river" you click "hot."

Repeat for 8 hours per day, five days per week.

CONGRATULATIONS ON SELECTING LAW AS A CAREER. PLEASE JUMP OUT OF THE NEAREST WINDOW.

every once in a while on this shitbort you get a poast that is 1) well written; 2) spot-on; and 3) penned by someone who seems to have a firm grasp on What the Fuck they Are Talking About.

This is such a poast and I award it an ungrudging 180.

Sounds like amazing and uplifting detective work.

think about it...with each document you process, you are building your conception of who megacorp is and getting your finger on their pulse.

I bet you must feel a rush when you see something as "hot". thats when you get hot on the paper trail...

Once got pulled on to a doc review project. Basically involved reading thousands of pages of very similar documents, filling out a bunch of fields in a spreadsheet, and going to hours of meetings. Worst month of work ever. Only billed 160 hrs and nearly killed self from boredom.

In biglaw, it is a 180 workstream to "check-out" on for 2-3 months, billing 9 hours a day for having the doc review portal open on your computer while you poast. Leave at 630 every day. The problem is that when you get an assignment like this, it is very likely your last few months at the firm and they are just trying to squeeze the last bit of productivity out of you, before, like a once proud thorougbred horse, you are shipped off to the glue factory.

Many contract attorneys do this. You catch them by doing spot checks of their work. If you see a fairly obvious miss, you pull more of their work and if they were just BSing you fire them. I doubt many associates do this because if they were found out they'd be fired no questions asked. Much more common for associates is for them to review 10 docs and charge an hour when they really reviewed 10 docs for 10 mins then surfed the net for 50 mins.

Megacorps police their emails in real time. Any employee writing damaging shit is going to get shitcanned before anything gets litigated unless something falls through the cracks. C level people basically dont touch email too. They have teams that run random email audits just for shit like that.
