A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Data has reshaped industries around the world, from finance and medicine to sports. Law has trailed behind other industries, but is quickly following suit. For many years, law firms made important decisions - including very large decisions - based on limited experience (at best), or hunches (at worst). Data science is growing quickly in law firms, law schools, and corporate legal departments. Sophisticated clients not only prefer firms that use data analysis in their practice - they soon will demand it. In Data Analytics Applications in Law, leading practitioners examine the cutting edge of this trend, looking at new tools from our present, as well as the future of data analytics in law.
