TREC Call for participation

NIST and The Sedona Conference® are seeking "a few good lawyers" (as well as law clerks, legal assistants, and staff of legal tech firms of all types) to contribute to world-class research into the evaluation of competing search methodologies, as outlined in greater detail below. This is the first year that NIST has targeted litigation demands related to search and retrieval of documents as a new field of research. For the TREC legal track to be a success, between 25 and 50 responsible individuals will be needed to participate in an overall document review process which is to take place later this summer. The results of the research effort will be reported at the 15th Annual TREC conference to be held at NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland during the third week of November 2006. The Sedona Conference asks that you consider having one or more individuals at your firm or company volunteer their time to assist in this very important and research endeavor.
