Big Data is a big topic in academic and high-tech circles. And in case you haven't noticed, it's a big -- and growing -- topic in financial services too. In the next few years, expect big data to change the way financial services firms approach almost every part of the business, from asset and risk management to determine credit worthiness and trading, according to a new white paper from BNY Mellon. The paper, titled "The Transformational Influence of 'Big Data' on the 21st Century Global Financial...

Supreme Court Confidential

All rise and download the latest iOS update of PocketJustice http://at.law.com/LTN136x . If it seems like years since the maiden version of PocketJustice hit the iTunes store and quickly positioned itself as a top-shelf mobile multimedia resource for constitutional law, that's because it was way back in early 2010 when the Oyez Project, now at Chicago-Kent College of Law, first released the jammin' app delivering audio of Supreme Court arguments to smartphones. PocketJustice presents audio...

When Using Colossus Independent Judgment Is a Must
May 16, 2013
Placing the value on bodily injury claims is inherently speculative. To remove some of the guess work from ascertaining a proper value for general damages, some insurance companies utilize a comprehensive software program called Colossus. The Colossus software attempts to recreate, electronically, the “round-tabling” that often occurs with specific claims. One court has described the “round-tabling” process as a process in which the insurer’s most skilled and experienced casualty claims...

Third-Party Litigation Financing and the Impending Resurgence of the Legal Profession
May 15, 2013
The deterioration of the legal jobs market and the crisis in legal education have dominated recent headlines. Some conclude that the current weak market reflects the new normal in legal education and the profession, and they fill the ether with their tales of doom and gloom.

The growth of third-party litigation financing (TPLF) may be the catalyst...
