Law meets Big Data
Details
“In the future – and sooner than we may think – many aspects of our world will be augmented or replaced by computer systems that today are the sole purview of human judgment” – Viktor Mayer-Schonberger & Kenneth Cukier, Big Data: a Revolution that Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think
What does the move towards “big data”— i.e. vastly increased power to collect, store, and analyze data – mean for the legal world?
Adam Long, veteran of several legal startups and currently with Praedicat, Inc., a risk management startup in Culver City, will join us to discuss how data analytics are transforming four areas of the legal world:
-
How do we finding relevant documents from a vast sea of emails? (aka e-discovery and document review)
-
How can we tell whether our law firm is over (or maybe under) charging us? (aka billing analytics)
-
How can we figure out the best litigation strategy for our patent infringement case? (aka moneyball for patent litigators)
-
How can we anticipate mass tort litigation and avoid it before the case even starts (risk management analytics)
