Casepoint’s AI-powered platform equips federal agencies with enterprise-grade tools to process FOIA requests more efficiently than ever.

TYSONS, Va., Jan 29, 2024 – Casepoint — the industry leader in legal discovery technology for litigation, investigations, FOIA, and compliance — today announced the launch of Casepoint FOIA, designed to transform the handling of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for federal agencies. With the release of Casepoint FOIA, Casepoint combines FOIA workflow tracking and management, a client portal, and payment integration with the power of its AI-powered eDiscovery platform — eliminating the need for either a limited-capability legacy FOIA solution or multiple solutions.

Currently, many agencies are struggling to keep up with a record-high number of FOIA requests, using manual methods and legacy FOIA systems that are ill-equipped to handle large, diverse data sets. These systems also cannot provide the analytics, review, and redaction capabilities that are standard features of a robust eDiscovery solution, which is why more agencies are leaning on eDiscovery platforms to help manage FOIA requests.

Casepoint FOIA sets a new standard for government agencies, offering a comprehensive and configurable system that consolidates the request process and reimagines FOIA workflows. This game-changing solution includes a FOIA portal for requesters, which is connected to a configurable tracking application — all seamlessly integrated with Casepoint’s powerful AI-enabled eDiscovery tool with review, analytics, and redaction capabilities.

Using Casepoint FOIA, agencies can:

Checkmark Monitor the entire lifecycle of FOIA requests in real-time.
Checkmark Establish a dedicated portal where requesters can submit their FOIA requests.
Checkmark Track the status of requests, from submission to completion.
Checkmark Send automated notifications and updates at each stage of the workflow.
Checkmark Manage correspondence with internal and external stakeholders.
Checkmark Organize and review records ingested into the system.
Checkmark Efficiently categorize and tag documents for easy retrieval and reference.
Checkmark Conduct bulk and automated redactions.
Checkmark Implement robust quality control measures to ensure the accuracy of redactions.
Checkmark Leverage AI-powered eDiscovery software to swiftly prepare response packages.
Checkmark Establish a FOIA Reading Room and update it with released documents for future requests.
Checkmark Compile reports for the DOJ detailing FOIA compliance.

“Casepoint FOIA fills a critical gap for agencies and eliminates the need for both an end-to-end eDiscovery platform and a separate FOIA management solution,” said Amy Hilbert, Casepoint’s Executive Vice President, Government Solutions. “With a record-high number of FOIA requests pouring in, manual, legacy solutions and processing methods are no longer acceptable. This comprehensive solution empowers agencies to meet the challenges of processing FOIA requests more efficiently than ever while emphasizing transparency and user experience.”

Casepoint will showcase Casepoint FOIA and all of its latest innovations at Legalweek in New York from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, 2024. Conference attendees are invited to visit Booth #2305 to see Casepoint’s secure, cloud-based data discovery platform in action. To connect with Casepoint at Legalweek, sign up here.

eDiscoveryAI is the Latest Frontier in eDiscovery

In the ever-evolving world of legal technology, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the eDiscovery landscape has undergone a significant transformation. Traditional approaches to document review are giving way to AI-powered solutions that promise unprecedented accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. In this blog post, we delve into the latest frontier in eDiscovery: Artificial Intelligence.

 

eDiscoveryAI: A Game-Changer

 

The legal industry has been no stranger to technological advancements, but AI represents a seismic shift. Powered by sophisticated Large Language Models (LLMs), AI is revolutionizing how legal professionals handle eDiscovery. These LLMs are engineered to understand and generate human-like text, making them invaluable in tasks like document review, privilege logs, and more.

 

The eDiscoveryAI Advantage

 

eDiscoveryAI, our cutting-edge solution, harnesses the potential of LLMs to redefine eDiscovery. It’s not just a tool; it’s a transformative force in the legal world. Here’s how it’s reshaping the eDiscovery landscape:

 

  1. Unmatched Accuracy and Efficiency

 

eDiscoveryAI review boasts precision rates as high as 96%, and recall rates as high as 98% ensuring that no relevant document goes unnoticed. This means you won’t miss a single relevant document. Say goodbye to time-consuming manual document review processes. With AI, you gain unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in identifying crucial information.

 

  1. Streamlined Document Review

 

Traditional predictive coding tools are no match for the precision and speed of AI. eDiscoveryAI automated document review, reducing the time and resources required. It’s like having a tireless team of experts at your disposal, ensuring that no stone is left unturned.

 

  1. Customization

 

Every legal case is unique, and eDiscoveryAI recognizes that. It’s highly customizable, allowing you to tailor it to your specific project or case requirements. From creating distinct issues to setting relevance criteria, you have the power to adapt AI to your needs.

 

  1. Seamless Integration

 

eDiscoveryAI seamlessly integrates with existing eDiscovery platforms like Relativity. This means you can leverage AI’s benefits without overhauling your current systems. It’s about enhancing your workflow, not disrupting it.

 

  1. Early Case Assessments and More

 

AI isn’t just about document review. With eDiscoveryAI, you can conduct early case assessments, detect foreign languages, review images and audio files, and even train your CAL model. It’s a comprehensive solution designed to cover all your eDiscovery needs.

 

Why AI, and Why Now?

 

The legal landscape is evolving faster than ever. Clients demand more efficient and cost-effective solutions. Staying competitive means embracing AI in eDiscovery. Waiting on the sidelines isn’t an option.

 

eDiscoveryAI is your ticket to the future of eDiscovery. It’s about efficiency, accuracy, and staying ahead of the curve. With AI as your ally, you’re not just catching up with the latest trends; you’re leading them.

 

Conclusion

 

In the legal world, the future is AI-powered. eDiscoveryAI represents the latest frontier in eDiscovery, where innovation meets necessity. Don’t get left behind in the age of manual reviews. Embrace the power of AI and transform your legal practice.
