Abstract: Documents, such as those that may or will be the subject of a litigation, may be managed by automatically determining that a document, such as an email or other communication, is privileged or producible such that superfluous documents may be removed to improve data storage and reduce the burden on storage, processing, and communication resources. Additionally, documents such as emails may comprise attached or embedded documents (e.g., attachments) which may be similarly or independently classified from their associated email. After determining privilege, such as via metadata associated with a sender/receiver of an email, similarly categorized documents may be grouped for presentation and/or storage. The documents may be indexed, such as by entries within a production log, to further facilitate accurate production and management of non-privileged documents, as well as, the exclusion of privileged documents. Documents not required for production may be indexed and/or purged from storage.
