Imagine if you could make a data-driven prediction about how opposing counsel, or a judge, or a party to litigation or a transaction, will behave. Or what results a specific legal strategy or argument will produce. Would you continue to rely exclusively on traditional legal research and reasoning to inform the advice you give clients, the documents you draft, the negotiations you conduct and the arguments you make? Or would you integrate data and analytics into your lawyering by practicing Moneyball for lawyers?
