There are people in the tech community doing this. One of the co-founders of LegalZoom apprenticed under their GC, and our CTO (at Judicata) is apprenticing under a member of our legal team.

And I'm saying that is not true. Scholar has nearly all of the cases anyone cares about - that's how they can index and serve them. (I say this as a former Google Scholar engineer.) If you are an individual, you can read the cases on Schola

There may not be a disagreement: I'm not arguing that this data should be closed. I believe it should be freely available, and should be freely available in bulk form. My only point was that providing open access to cases so that individual

I'm not certain I understand what problems you are alluding to. Scholar has cases, and for you as an individual finding a case is largely trivial. If your interest is in getting and providing bulk access to cases, then yes, you have obstacl

The distinction here is between you as the public trying to understand the law, and you as a businessperson trying to make money off of the law. The push to open up PACER is based on ideals about the former, not the latter. (And the for

You're correct that Rayiner's statement that Westlaw/Lexis don't charge for access to case law is wrong. But he is right about the broader point that they do provide some value-add, and that value-add is why people continue to use their ser

I think your broader market points are generally correct. And I'd add that amongst younger lawyers the expectation of technology is that it should be well designed, pleasant and smart. Unfortunately, most legal technologies don't stand up t

Those are valid points, and I've seen it from both sides - as a lawyer and as a businessperson. But one of the things missing from your comment is that good lawyers are protecting their clients from the possibility of things going wrong i

Naive is a particularly strong word here. What part do you think is naive? Thiel is talking about both a 20-50 year vision and a 1000-year vision, and he is pretty non-committal about the 1000-year vision. And I don't think his 20-50 year v

Correct - and that is why I think that automation will not get us all the way there. (At least not in the 20-50 year range; I have no idea what the world will look like in 1000 years.) And I think your point suggests that lawyers will conti

I think this is a very good point, and I totally agree about the importance of emotion and the appearance of justice in our legal system. But I'm not sure it follows that the appearance of justice is at odds with getting things right . A b

We have not published much about what we are doing, so I don't have an available link. I would be happy to discuss it on a one-to-one basis over email, though: itai at our domain.

I think you are both right to a large extent, and the distinction is whether you are focused on the easy cases, the hard cases, or some point in between. The repetitiveness in the common law is a massive feature and precedent does make the

These are very good points. Computer assisted legal analysis would be a big win in terms of cost, efficiency and accuracy. And it would allow lawyers to spend more of their time being productive in highly creative and impactful ways. For ex

Thanks. Makes sense. I was curious because I've spent much time developing quality case parsing and semantic analysis technologies, and one of the very difficult problems I've been interested in - but not yet approached - is automatically p

Do you have a little more information about that? I'm curious to know how the software would do that, and how sophisticated it is. I would imagine it is simply based on user input representations of the bills, and fairly simple tests, but e

I agree that West/Lexis will still be very lucrative and continue to rule the legal research space for many years to come. I also agree that they add much value (despite competing with them, I have come to appreciate a lot of the things the
