Predictive Analytics in a Data-Driven World
The use of predictive coding in e-discovery answers the need to automate document review for discovery purposes. Why is automation of this process now so necessary? Because Big Data is upon us, and the legal profession is as much affected by this mountain of information as is business. We need automation to make our way through this.
Prediction coding is one part of the process of quantitative predictive analytics, and the use of predictive analytics in the practice of law is charging well past its role in e-discovery. Think about it: how often is a lawyer required to make a prediction: Do I have a case? What is our likely exposure? How should this legal matter be priced? Who in the firm is best equipped to handle it? What's up with the judge? What's the best jury composition? These are the questions that can, and will, rely on human-trained technology designed to wrest these decisions from the frailties of human thinking.
