Advanced Data Analytics Solution from X1® and CDS Selected as One of Four Winners in the 2021 Georgetown Law Advanced eDiscovery Institute Judge Tank


X1® and Complete Discovery Source (CDS) announced today that their joint submission of an advanced, in-place data analytics workflow is one of the four winners selected to present during the 2021 Georgetown Global Advanced eDiscovery Institute's Judge Tank session in November. The Judge Tank session will feature a panel of distinguished sitting federal judges that will be presented with the four winning entrepreneurial ideas from technology firms, service providers and corporate counsel. During the panel, the four winners will pitch their novel and creative ideas about eDiscovery, privacy, and Big Data to the judges, similar to the popular TV program "Shark Tank."

The X1 and CDS submission envisions a game-changing technical integration and workflow utilizing advanced analytics on data in-place for eDiscovery and compliance use cases prior to data collection. This solution enables a far more efficient, targeted, and proportional electronically stored information (ESI (News - Alert)) collection process, while also powering data privacy compliance audits across enterprises at a massive scale. This proposal will be presented live by X1 and CDS executives to the judges' panel on November 19.

John Patzakis, Chief Legal Officer and Executive Chairman of X1 commented, "It is a great honor to be selected as one of the winners of the competition among such a deep collection of compelling submissions. X1 is all about roviding cutting edge innovation in eDiscovery and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) so it's very gratifying to be recognized for novel approaches to major issues eDiscovery and GRC practitioners face every day. We can't thank Georgetown Law and the judges enough for this great opportunity."



The judges comprising the panel are:

  • Hon. J. Michelle Childs, District Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina
  • Hon. Kristen L. Mix, Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado
  • Hon. Xavier Rodriguez, District Judge, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas
  • Hon. Anthony E. Porcelli, Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida
  • Hon. Zia Faruqui, Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

"Whether we're exploring new applications for existing tools or developing purpose-built products and solutions, CDS is always looking to advance the practice of eDiscovery. As data volumes grow ever larger and data formats become increasingly complex, it's never been more critical to think outside the box," said Nyi Htwe, Chief Technology Officer, CDS. "We appreciate Georgetown Law's commitment to spotlighting innovation and encouraging dialogue and debate about the tools practitioners need to meet the future of data."


The Discovery Judge Tank will be featured in this year's Global Advanced eDiscovery Institute (AEDI) conference to be held in person on November 18 and 19 in Washington, D.C. Scott Milner, Partner at Morgan Lewis & Bockius, will moderate the panel. Managing Director William Wallace Belt, Jr., Esq. will present on behalf of CDS, while X1 will be represented by their Chief Legal Officer John Patzakis.
