ZyLab reports that key modules of its e-discovery and production software were used in the recent Cambodia tribunals.
Law Technology News covered the trials in Claire Duffett's poignant "Rain of Terror," which chronicled the efforts of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, with the assistance of the United Nations, to prosecute Khmer Rouge leaders who were connected to the deaths of 1.7 million people between 1975 and 1979. This July, Kaing Guek Eav was convicted of crimes against humanity, murder, and torture.
ZyLab's technology included collection, text mining of unstructured data, analysis, and web-based legal review, for the prosecution, defense, and court. Gonzalo de Cesare, former records manager for several U.N. war crimes tribunals, discusses the software here.
The Cambodia prosecution team was the recipient of the 2009 LTN Award for Most Innovative Use of Technology in a Trial. Duffett's article won one of two honorable mentions in the 2010 "Tabbies" Awards for best technical article.
