Summary
Digitalization in the legal domain is an amazing example of the way information technology (IT) can displace or enrich typically human tasks. Fueled by the recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) (big data, machine learning, natural language processing, etc.), this phenomenon of digitalization affects more and more legal tasks and functions. Effective examples of digitalization in the legal domain are very diverse, ranging from exploration of patent classifications1 to prediction of legal cases’ outcomes (e.g., anticipation of foreseeable damages from an action).2 One can also mention e-discovery,3 as well as the digitalization of the organization and review of legal documents.4
