The Law’s Secrets Revealed: A Big Data Look at Litigation

“Law has historically been a credence good. This means the market relies on elite credentials and firm reputation as a proxy for skill,” said Professor William Henderson from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

On Friday December 11, Advisen hosted a webinar that offered a big data look at litigation.

Premonition’s Toby Unwin and Ian Dodd, CINN Group’s Steve Acunto, and Advisen’s David Bradford discussed whether or not the biggest and most reputable law firms are in fact doing the best job. The discussion was based on the analysis of hundreds of thousands of cases by Premonition, an Artificial Intelligence system that uses predictive analytics and mines big data to find out which attorneys usually win before which judges.
