商品描述

For increasingly data-savvy clients, lawyers can no longer give it depends answers rooted in anecdata. Clients insist that their lawyers justify their reasoning, and with more than a limited set of war stories. The considered judgment of an experienced lawyer is unquestionably valuable. However, on balance, clients would rather have the considered judgment of an experienced lawyer informed by the most relevant information required to answer their questions.

Data-Driven Law: Data Analytics and the New Legal Services helps legal professionals meet the challenges posed by a data-driven approach to delivering legal services. Its chapters are written by leading experts who cover such topics as:

  • Mining legal data
  • Computational law
  • Uncovering bias through the use of Big Data
  • Quantifying the quality of legal services
  • Data mining and decision-making
  • Contract analytics and contract standards

In addition to providing clients with data-based insight, legal firms can track a matter with data from beginning to end, from the marketing spend through to the type of matter, hours spent, billed, and collected, including metrics on profitability and success. Firms can organize and collect documents after a matter and even automate them for reuse. Data on marketing related to a matter can be an amazing source of insight about which practice areas are most profitable.

Data-driven decision-making requires firms to think differently about their workflow. Most firms warehouse their files, never to be seen again after the matter closes. Running a data-driven firm requires lawyers and their teams to treat information about the work as part of the service, and to collect, standardize, and analyze matter data from cradle to grave. More than anything, using data in a law practice requires a different mindset about the value of this information. This book helps legal professionals to develop this data-driven mindset.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

對於越來越精通數據的客戶來說,律師不再能夠給出基於經驗數據的「視情況而定」的答案。客戶堅持要求律師為其推理提供正當理由,而不僅僅是有限的戰爭故事。經驗豐富的律師的深思熟慮的判斷無疑是有價值的。然而,總的來說,客戶更希望獲得經驗豐富的律師的深思熟慮的判斷,這種判斷是基於回答他們問題所需的最相關信息。

《數據驅動的法律:數據分析與新法律服務》幫助法律專業人士應對數據驅動的法律服務交付所帶來的挑戰。其章節由領先的專家撰寫,涵蓋以下主題:

- 挖掘法律數據
- 計算法律
- 通過大數據揭示偏見
- 量化法律服務的質量
- 數據挖掘與決策制定
- 合同分析與合同標準

除了為客戶提供基於數據的見解外,法律事務所還可以從頭到尾追蹤案件的數據,從市場營銷支出到案件類型、花費的工時、開票和收款,包括盈利能力和成功的指標。事務所可以在案件結束後組織和收集文件,甚至自動化以便重用。與案件相關的市場營銷數據可以成為有關哪些業務領域最具盈利性的驚人見解來源。

數據驅動的決策制定要求事務所以不同的方式思考其工作流程。大多數事務所將其文件存放在倉庫中,案件結束後再也不會被查看。經營一家數據驅動的事務所需要律師及其團隊將有關工作的信息視為服務的一部分,並從頭到尾收集、標準化和分析案件數據。最重要的是,在法律實務中使用數據需要對這些信息的價值有不同的心態。本書幫助法律專業人士培養這種數據驅動的心態。
