Case Study: The 36 Group achieves rapid court preparation and four-week time savings with Luminance Discovery

Preparing for court hearings with Luminance Discovery

The 36 Group, a leading London barristers’ chambers, faced preparing for a high‑profile historic murder trial in which a 20‑person team needed to review over 10,000 documents. When the Crown Court Digital Case System (CCDS) proved unable to cope with the volume and complexity, The 36 Group adopted Luminance’s Discovery platform to support their court preparation.

Luminance rapidly deployed a cloud‑based solution with supervised and unsupervised machine learning, an intuitive interface, secure remote access, project management and Deep Coding to visualize, filter and surface conceptually similar documents in one click. Using Luminance, the team quickly isolated key evidence and ensured consistent relevancy coding across reviewers, delivering significant efficiency gains — an estimated saving of around four working weeks between review and disclosure.
