Assignment 2

The goal of this assignment is to gain some experience doing e-discovery searches. This will expose you to a collection of documents released through a discovery process (from the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement) and to a representative complaint and production request. We will also use the results during our discussion of how search results are evaluated.

The assignment is to search the advanced search interface of the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library (LTDL) to find 10 documents that are relevant to TREC topic 102, which was used in the 2008 Interactive task of the TREC Legal Track. You can find instructions on the relevance assessment process on the TREC Legal Track Web page.

Please send the instructors a list of 10 relevant documents.
