First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining targeted document review assignments in an electronic discovery system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of predetermined concepts included within a corpus of electronic data associated with a case in the electronic discovery system;
determining, via a computing device processor, a plurality of data groupings for the corpus of electronic data, wherein each of the data groupings are defined by inclusion of at least one of the predetermined concepts; and
generating, via a computing device processor, a plurality of document review assignments based on the determined data groupings.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for improved electronic discovery. More specifically, embodiments relate to computer program products for targeted document review assignments by determining concept-related data groupings within the overall corpus of data associated with a case and assembling the targeted document review assignments based on the concept-related data groupings. As such, document reviewers are presented with assignments that have highly conceptually-related documents, which results in further efficiency in the review process.
