Into the future… While the world works on solving the problems of tomorrow or prepares for the "post email" future of AI lawyers and TAR 5.0, most legal and ediscovery professionals are looking for practical solutions to simplify and organize email and non-email data to accelerate review and improve the consistency and application of coding decisions and redactions. Email threading is one of the most practical tools now available in ediscovery and it's getting better every day. Developers of analytics solutions continue to explore ways to weaponize information about email relationships and provide powerful visualizations for increased context, surgical coding options for applying multiple assessments at once, and even the cultivation of information about email participants to create a knowledge base of who's who in your matter. This adds up to the potential development of powerful and practical tools that can save significant time, dollars, and avoid costly mistakes that can derail review efforts. We've come a long way since the early days of organizing email by "Subject RE:" lines and hoping for the best. As product companies continue to innovate in handling and understanding email content, we are certain to have new and exciting ways to work through email—or whatever new communication tools may lie on the horizon.
