@stamourla @SCC_eng @uocommonlaw Part I (LegalTech and the Legal Profession) and Part III (LegalTech and the Legal System) are not. But all the @datascience4law learning materials are freely accessible online to learn how to do such analyses: https://t.co/LlBfpHtImv

Sandbox for #legaltech in Ontario.

An important development just as I am wrapping up another edition of my "Data Science for Lawyers" @datascience4law course. Students are shocked every year how hard it is (for structural and regulatory reasons) to get legal tech off the ground

Legal datasets are the foundation of the emerging field of legal analytics.

The CIRI Human Rights Dataset contains quantitative information on government respect for 15 human rights for 202 countries.

Legal documents have their own peculiarities. Out of the box coding solutions don't always work perfectly.

The following article by @sereprz discusses some helpful techniques.

Fewer judicial resources would be used if more people chose to arbitrate small claims. This would improve access to justice.

The following project by @CodeXStanford discusses what will promote the use of online arbitration channels.

Artificial Intelligence can automate repetitive tasks to help categorize information.

It can be about as accurate as a human using their intuition. Learn how to use the technology here:
