Enforcing Legal Holds of Heterogeneous Objects for Litigation
First Claim
1. Software for managing legal holds on objects, the software comprising computer readable instructions embodied on tangible media and operable to:
- identify a target object to associate with a particular legal hold;
determine a hash value using data associated with the target object;
determine a primary key for the target object using the hash value, the primary key comprising a unique identifier for the target object in a centralized lookup table, the centralized lookup table comprising a plurality of hold records for objects of different types; and
automatically communicate with the centralized lookup table using the primary key for the target object to verify a hold record associated with the target object.

Abstract
Software for managing legal holds on objects identifies a target object to associate with a particular legal hold. The example software is further operable to automatically communicate with a lookup table to verify a hold record associated with the target object. In another example, the software for managing legal holds on objects can receive a legal hold status request for a target object associated with a business application. The software can automatically communicate with a lookup table to determine a hold record identifying a legal hold associated with the target object. The software is further operable to respond to the legal hold status request with a legal hold status based on the lookup table communication.
