While predictive coding is only just gaining acceptance in the UK, it received court approval in the US in 2012, and has been reaching widespread adoption ever since, particularly on matters with large document populations. As with all new technologies, it is important that the people using this software have a broad understanding of how it works, its benefits and how to best achieve the desired goals.
