Center Research Fellow Josh Covey, a recent Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law graduate and now Associate at Quarles & Brady, and Center Faculty Director Gary Marchant Recently published a cover story on legal analytics in the Orange County Lawyer magazine.
Legal analytics is the application of artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, and big data to the practice of law. The article, Legal Analytics: The Opening Salvo for AI into Legal Practice, describes the technological, economic, and legal factors driving the adoption of legal analytics and the many ways lawyers and the courts can benefit by incorporating this technology into their practice.
Marchant and Covey argue that legal analytics are a stepping stone to the widespread use of AI by legal services providers.
“Legal analytics is quickly becoming a core part of legal practice, foreshadowing the broader adoption of AI in the practice of law. It is time to jump on this fast-moving train.”
The Center for Law, Science & Innovation launched a legal analytics program in the fall of 2016, which includes an annual legal analytics workshop every fall, as part of its ASU-Arkfeld e-Discovery and Digital Evidence Conference and Program.
