Technology-assisted review (TAR) has changed how lawyers manage and analyze vast volumes of electronic data in the ever-changing landscape of legal document review. Traditionally, search terms have been the preferred method in the e-discovery process. However, TAR is rapidly emerging as a superior alternative, offering numerous benefits over conventional search terms in legal document review.

Technology-assisted review (TAR) is a process of having computer software electronically classify documents based on input from reviewers to expedite the organization and prioritization of the document collection. As reviewers train the software, it learns to identify and highlight relevant information and ensure quality control accurately. TAR allows reviewers to make decisions rapidly by prioritizing the most critical documents. TAR has been accepted by the U.S. courts since the seminal 2012 decision in Da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe & M.S.L. Group, 287 F.R.D. 182 (S.D.N.Y. 2012) and is now viewed as black-letter law.
