Summary

From document review in litigation, to compliance, case prediction, billing, negotiation and settlement, contracting, patent management, due diligence, legal research, and beyond, technology is transforming the production of legal work and in turn the economics of the legal industry. Legal informatics is the academic discipline that underlies many of these transformational technologies, and despite all of these technical advances, no modern comprehensive treatment of the field has been offered to date. With contributions from more than two dozen academic and industry experts, this book offers readers a first-of-its-kind introductory overview of the exciting field of legal informatics.
