back then you just rolled into trial and let it do what it do. maybe exchange some clearly relevant documents.

now you review 100,000 pages of bullshit to maybe find one "smoking gun" and depose everyone even tangentially involved with anything, then settle on the courthouse steps because you'd piss yourself if you had to actually speak in front of a jury

the only time i ever see "pages" produced used as a serious metric is when some firm is lying about how cooperative they've been in discovery (usually most of the pages come from excel spreadsheets inefficiently converted).

It’s also useful affirmatively in a motion to compel. We’ve produced 60.000 pages your honor, they’ve produced less than 2,500 as non-searchable PDFs.

There was no V10. In 1960 there were allegedly less than 40 law firms in the country with more than 50 lawyers.
