The 2009 TREC Legal Track was part of an ongoing initiative aimed at creating document search and retrieval benchmarks. TREC Legal Track focuses specifically on the area of legal discovery and the current search methods and technologies employed to retrieve electronic business records for use in litigation or regulatory investigations. Given the fact that clients must sift through rapidly and increasing volumes of data in hopes of locating their relevant business records, the importance of this initiative is clear. We are pleased to say that two Inventus employees played a role in furthering this endeavor by dedicating over 80 hours to document review.
