There is a treasure trove of litigation data that for years was virtually inaccessible. While court rulings and filings were available and individual documents could be accessed and viewed, the technology needed to search and analyze the data and provide useful, actionable information simply did not exist.
In 2018, that’s no longer the case. The recent maturation of the foundational technologies needed to support machine learning have made advanced data analytics and sophisticated language processing possible on a scale never before seen. Using these tools, massive amounts of data can be sifted through, organized and analyzed in mere seconds.
These capabilities are particularly useful in the litigation arena. Court data and filings provide a wealth of information about judges, their rulings, the litigants, their attorneys, expert witnesses and more. That’s where litigation analytics software comes in. It accesses and harnesses relevant data sets and then makes sense of them and provides the user with the information needed to make informed decisions about the course of a litigation matter.
