8. A system for linking items into a matter comprising: a computing device that comprises a memory component that stores at least the following: content master that causes the computing device to retrieve an electronic document from a source; a linking component that causes the computing device to perform at least the following: determine whether the electronic document is associated with a predetermined first matter; in response to determining that the electronic document is associated with the predetermined first matter, link the electronic document to the predetermined first matter, such that accessing the electronic document will provide access to other documents linked to the predetermined first matter; and in response to determining that the electronic document is not associated with the predetermined first matter, create a second matter and link the electronic document to the second matter, such that accessing the electronic document will provide other documents linked to the second matter; and search logic that causes the computing device to receive a request for the electronic document and, in response to receiving the request for the electronic document, provide a user option to provide access to the other documents linked to the predetermined first matter.
