In all aspects of life today, bigger is better, so why shouldn’t this apply in the courtroom? With many computer screens, projector screens, and televisions now featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio, rather than the 4:3 ratio, document treatments should fill the screen no matter what the screen size.

A recent post on law.com discusses the maturity of computer assisted search and review technologies. It describes some recent tests that were run comparing the predominant boolean search methodology with newer approaches such as concept searching, clustering, taxonomies, and um… Bayesian classifiers of course (calculating probabilities based on known relevant results).

Capitalizing on some of our previous posts, and frankly stating the obvious, Microsoft is making clear that the company’s strategy is moving away from the desktop.

Complexity’s inevitable result is failure. No matter how it’s dressed up packaged and sold, too much complexity is a bad thing. We develop really creative ways to simplify complex concepts for juries. Our technology lab makes software that simplifies really complicated data management processes.

Quality comes from doing a few basic things well, and avoiding doing lots of things in an average way. I recently had a very mediocre experience at Quiznos that got me thinking about why, when certain things become too complicated, they lose their effect.
