I’m mapping our 2025 training plan and looking for CLEs that move the needle on case preparation efficiency — think tighter issue coding in Relativity and more reliable cite-checking workflows in Westlaw. General info only; for case‑specific guidance, please consult a qualified attorney — what courses have given you measurable gains, like trimming review time by 20%?
‘Issue coding in Relativity’: Relativity Academy Review Management + Westlaw CLE (Quick Check/KeyCite) cut about 20%. Relativity not always CLE.
Quick example: ACEDS’ “Relativity Analytics for Review Managers” (https://www.aceds.org) let us pre-build threading/near-dup plus persistent highlight templates, then a Westlaw “KeyCite Advanced” CLE tightened our cite-check pass; together we saw about a 20–25% reduction in first-pass touches. Caveat: results dipped when language ID and dedup weren’t set before training, and CLE credit varies by state — confirm locally and consult an attorney for case-specific calls. Do you already have saved searches with family inclusion and term expansion turned on?
Building on @elizaCraft_75, pairing PLI’s e‑discovery workflow CLE with a Westlaw Drafting Assistant session let us formalize a 10% random QC/elusion check and prebuilt dtSearch/analytics searches, then automate TOA and Overruling Risk flags — about a 22–28% cut in first‑pass time (felt like swapping a butter knife for a chef’s knife). Caveat: approvals vary by state and, for case specifics, consult an attorney — what jurisdiction do you need credit in?
But we shaved about 18% off review after a Lawline e‑discovery search‑logic CLE by standardizing Relativity saved‑search bundles and coding layouts, plus a 5% stratified sampling check — ‘measure twice, code once’. For the metrics piece, EDRM’s validation/precision‑recall CLEs help quantify the lift (and for matter‑specific calls, loop in counsel): https://edrm.net.
