A Technician in the Robot Revolution
January 8, 2017
The machines have already consolidated their gains in automated industries and are continuing their migration into white-collar work. Artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing, the “next generation” of computing, will render most paperwork (and pushers of paper) redundant. Even contracts, the bread and butter of most lawyers, will be automated—there are already small-scale examples of self-executing “smart contracts.” In terms of litigation, not only are computers demonstrating...

The 10 Most Important Legal Technology Developments Of 2016
January 4, 2017
Robert Ambrogi, The 10 Most Important Legal Technology Developments of 2016: 1. The legal industry gets smart about artificial intelligence. In my top 10 list last year, I considered it big news that AI had come to legal research in the form of ROSS Intelligence, a startup that uses IBM’s Watson platform to answer lawyers’ natural-language legal research questions. Just as last year closed out, another AI company, Premonition — which says it is applying AI to the largest legal database...

What Data Analytics Can And Cannot Do
January 3, 2017
There is a lot of interest in Big Data, Business Intelligence, Predictive Analytics, and other data-related fields these days. Whether in distinctly non-legal areas like the Internet of Things or legal areas like jury selection, litigation finance, textual analytics, and hedge fund replication, techniques for using data are clearly changing many aspects of the business world. This set of tools and techniques as a whole can be generically termed data analytics — and with major increases in computing...

5 Legal Tech Startup Areas to Watch in 2017
January 1, 2017
While 2015 was marked by major investments in legal tech organizations like Avvo and kCura (who raked in $71 million and $125 million in venture capital investments, respectively), 2016 lacked the same the same robust investing climate. That said, venture capitalists, accelerators, and other investors in legal tech demonstrated some continued interest in a few areas that are likely to carry into 2017. Legal tech entrepreneurs may want to look into these 5 areas for their next big project:

Equal Access to Information & Justice Online Dispute Resolution
December 31, 2016
Online dispute resolution ('ODR') refers to the use of technology to support the settlement of civil and commercial disputes. Platforms began appearing two decades ago offering a plethora of online processes for various types of disputes. ODR has grown exponentially and offers unique features for handling millions of disputes annually and has the potential to significantly increase access to justice across all legal jurisdictions.

The Artificial Lawyer Year in Review: The New Era of Legal AI Begins
December 31, 2016
2016 will be remembered as the year when legal AI and advanced automation went from being a subject for conference discussions about ‘the future’ and became something very real in the eyes of the market, and perhaps most importantly something that law firms were actually using for client work.

But,...
