The authors would like to thank Ron Dolin, William Kellerman, Matt Kesner, and Jonathan
Land for discussing their firms' uses of predictive coding. While the discussion throughout this
Article reflects information they provided, we have decided not to quote their comments directly so
as to avoid any potential confidentiality concerns. We would also like to thank Maura Grossman
and Richard Marcus for their comments on aii earlier draft of this piece. All errors, of course,
remain our own.
