The field of artificial intelligence (AI) and the law is on the cusp of a revolution that began with text analytic programs like IBM's Watson and Debater and the open-source information management architectures on which they are based. Today, new legal applications are beginning to appear and this book - designed to explain computational processes to non-programmers - describes how they will change the practice of law, specifically by connecting computational models of legal reasoning directly with legal text, generating arguments for and against particular outcomes, predicting outcomes and explaining these predictions with reasons that legal professionals will be able to evaluate for themselves. These legal applications will support conceptual legal information retrieval and allow cognitive computing, enabling a collaboration between humans and computers in which each does what it can do best. Anyone interested in how AI is changing the practice of law should read this illuminating work.

Product description

Review

'In relation to the composition of this book, it provides a comprehensive and user-friendly description of this interdisciplinary area, focusing on the suitability of developing legal devices based on artificial intelligence. The structure of the work allows users to analyse how representation of legal logic knowledge occurs, and its suitability for computational implementations … On this matter, the author provides relevant and understandable illustrations that facilitate the linkage between theory and the development of the techno legal implementations. … Artificial Intelligence and Legal Analytics: New Tools for Law Practice in the Digital Age is a fundamental work for those of us who are interested in the intersection between intelligent technology and the legal field, and its promising future.' Jesus Manuel Niebla Zatarain, SCRIPTed

Book Description

This book describes how text analytics and computational models of legal reasoning will improve legal IR and let computers help humans solve legal problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete history of AI and Law
Reviewed in the United States on 13 September 2020

To my knowledge, this book gives the best overview of the winding paths that computer science scholars have followed in their efforts to automate legal reasoning, legal research, and other tasks normally done by lawyers. Ashley writes from firsthand experience, as he was involved in many of the most important research initiatives. The book is mostly a history of the academic field of "AI and Law" or "Legal Informatics," but it also covers some important technological developments from corporate legal publishers and startups. Many of the projects discussed are prototypes that never saw widespread adoption, so this book isn't primarily a user's guide to practical tools. It doesn't offer clear guidance to legal technology software developers either, but it does provide a wealth of theory and historical context.

Useful also as an introduction to machine learning for general purpose, this book is well structured and rich of ideas. Definitely a good reading for both legal specialists willing to adopt data science concepts and for data scientists willing to develop a business minded aproach to new territories
