However, large corporations aren?t the only ones leveraging big data. As a matter of fact, almost all successful companies are using data analytics to get their hands onto useful information.

The legal industry appears to have lagged most other professions in leveraging big data. Law firms are the last ones to enter the golden world of data mining, which is a shame. The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania wrote that getting law firms to use big data will be the next major challenge. The authors pointed out that big data in the legal profession is still in its infancy.

Law and the legal industry shouldn?t rely exclusively on the power of argumentation, but it should embrace change with arms wide open. By taking advantage of sophisticated technologies, they can predict the outcome of lawsuits and even win cases right after the notice to sue arrives. For the time being, data analytics remains a new practice in the legal field.

Success in the courtroom is guaranteed

Big data has many practical applications in the legal field. If you are still skeptical, then you may want to consider the following hypothetical scenerio.

Imagine the following situation: you?re a lawyer and you?ve been recently been contacted by someone from Houston, namely the victim of a truck accident. The incident wasn?t fatal, but the person has sustained a head injury, therefore, losing some of their motor functions. If it wasn?t enough that the medical bills are extremely high, the poor person has lost their livelihood. As a Houston truck accident attorney, it?s your responsibility to do your client justice. Thanks to big data, it?s possible to streamline the legal process. You can collect information on individuals suffering similar accidents from the applications that are stored and organized in online systems.

The amount of data available to law firms and insurance companies alike is astonishing. There are medical bills that can serve as evidence in a court trial, not to mention the statements collected from the victims, which describe the emotional, physical, and financial impact that people other than the client have suffered. The law and legal industry should understand once and for all that data and technology will touch human analysis. Legal data analytics benefit all legal practices, offering lawyers a way to gain a competitive advantage in any setting.

Caution should be exerted when mining data

Data mining is the process by which someone looks for hidden and useful patterns in datasets. It?s all about disclosing unknown relationships. Attention needs to be paid to the fact that there can be biases in data, so it?s necessary to deploy a fair and unethical formula. Big data models should follow an ethical lead. The second issue to consider is privacy laws. With the technologies available at present, it?s easy to find information and relationships about people based on the extraction of data. The methods for mining data should allow for complete individual privacy.

The bottom line is that it?s paramount to ensure a legal footing for all the data endeavors. The legal professional should get a clear sense of the problem they?re struggling to solve before diving into the matter. The rapid development of machine learning and data mining has brought forward new opportunities for processing legal materials and legal analytics. But let?s not forget about the potential challenges. It?s important to follow the law and do things right. Otherwise, there isn?t any problem.

Big Data is a Gamechanger in the Legal Profession

Law firms all over the country are finally starting to discover the merits of big data. Big data is changing the way they interact with their clients, complete discovery and formulate legal strategies. This will give lawyers a major edge in the years to come.
