It helps you choose a lawyer by analyzing legal data - which lawyers usually win before which judges, whether or not they run up the bill, etc.
Seems like there could be some ethical issues, but the value proposition is potentially enormous.
- brazzledazzle 11y agoIt takes guts to get in a space where the people you're evaluating can take it upon themselves to sue you at no cost to themselves. And I sincerely hope they succeed, no one should be untouchable.
- mgalka 11y agoYes. Along with politicians and police, lawyers and judges are able to operate above the law. People don't talk much about it, but judges get away with some crazy stuff. A little transparency would be great for the whole system. On the other hand, if big business starts using this kind of analysis to always beat the little guy in court, that would be pretty shitty. There is already a big imbalance in legal power, and something like this could make it much worse.
