| >> I'm not sure what Neota Logic does. Looks like it's a best practices guide prepared by Litter Mendelson turned into software. As i understand , it lets lawyers decode their logic/thinking into the software, so you get more than a best-practice guide(assuming best practice guides are like what we have in software) - because to build a full best practice guide that includes all the corner cases and the fine details, etc is just not practical(too much to read, you'll need an expert anyway). But once you can gather information from the client(in a branching logic kind of way), you can create detailed advice that's very focused to the client's exact problem, and that usually offer much higher value - if you do it well. >> (much of the law has no clear answer) So many decisions in law are probability based ? the lawyer knows that doing X has 90% chance of being OK and 10% of being not OK (roughly) depending on corner cases or how laws will be interpreted in the future, etc - and builds a plan upon that, taking risks into account ? Because maybe neota supports probabilistic logic, not sure. But for example i know some medical expert system software do us that. >> Clothing got cheaper, and now we own a lot more clothes. We probably consume more of most things, and yet employment in some sectors decreased. >> I can't even tell if the quality of work actually pays real world dividends. So selling is key. And probably risk reduction is key.Right ? Computers have a pretty good track record doing risky stuff in a safer way and handling complexity, because humans make mistakes, and are limited with regards to complexity. It could be a big selling point once legal software matures. |
