[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with a lot of doc reviewers and I don't feel like it's that dead end of a job. The good ones do move into other areas. [/quote]

I agree.  People love to rag on them on this site.  I know quite a few who have moved jobs.  Ones who really know their stuff become e-discovery attorneys who manage the whole process, and they can be really in demand. Not a lot of attorneys want to do it or understand it, but they are absolutely needed.  A good one can save you from screwing up discovery in big important cases.

Others move on to become associates, maybe not in Biglaw, but very respectable firms, and from there you move up.  I know a former doc reviewer who is a partner at an Amlaw100 (became associate at a small firm, then partner, then firm got acquired by Amlaw 100 firm).  [/quote]

I don't think people are knocking doc review on its on. It's the posters who, in the past, have started threads claiming that they cannot do anything else, need unemployment, state life is hopeless, etc. I remember a few of those from the past few months. I started in doc review when I came to DC. It paid well bc I did bilingual review. It wasn't something that I considered permanent but I worked on multiple projects to save money until I could do something else. Doc review is a job just like any other, and if you're out there earning your pay check good for you! That said, I don't think that the vast majority of doc reviewers plan to be there long term. Those career folks are the slim minority. [/quote]
