- maxgeist 5y agoYeah, discovery and filing seem to be the biggest emerging applications of software to law. I wonder if going to law school would put me in a better position as a founder of an ediscovery startup. What I had in mind was any kind of law-career opportunity that would be more open to me with software engineering background than without.
- Raeru 5y agoCheck out Relativity, one of the best ediscovery software companies founded by Andrew Sieja (no law degree). He was working at the beginning of ediscovery and took advantage of the opportunity. If you wanna be on the law firm end of things rather than software, maybe try to find law firms who are embracing ediscovery software? For example, you could work at a law firm (or legal department of a company) using Relativity and leverage Relativity’s API to improve and help elevate attorney workflows. Some big companies that come to mind are NASA, Robinhood, Google. I’ve seen job listings for all those that requires law+technical knowledge. Could be a good opportunity to get with a recruiter also if you wanna be a VP (or some other high level position) of an ediscovery department or company while the industry is not so mainstream yet.
