SUGGESTING PRESERVATION NOTICE AND SURVEY RECIPIENTS IN AN ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for suggesting potential preservation notice recipients in an electronic discovery system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at computing device, first inputs that define a case;
receiving, at a computing device, second inputs that add a plurality of potential custodians to the case;
determining, via a computing device processor, from among the potential custodians, one or more suggested recipients of one or more preservation notices associated with the case, wherein the determination is based on an association between one of the potential custodians and one or more previously identified recipients of the preservation notice; and
communicating, via a computing device processor, the one or more preservation notices to one or more of the one or more suggested recipients.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products determining suggestive preservation notice or survey recipients in an electronic discovery system. The determination is based on a comparison of data, such as personnel data or like, associated with individuals previously identified as preservation notice or survey recipients and individuals currently added to the case, referred to as potential custodians. Additional embodiments of the invention provide for determining preservation notice recipients based additionally upon previous preservation notice and/or survey history of the potential custodians.
