thanks @razvanr for posting this! @rrhoover do we have the founders of casetext on here?
i am fascinated by companies disrupting the legal system... of the 3 major pillars of "work" from literally thousands of years ago - business/commerce, medicine, and law - legal is the last to be touched or transformed by technology. it's actually amazing to watch how lawyers STILL use fax machines, printers and red pens to mark things up... it is 2014. it seems like the technological transformations happening in the legal space are where healthcare was ~10 years ago and where business/commerce was ~15-20 years ago.
a few questions:
1. what is the incentive for people (professors, lawyers, etc) to add annotations?
2. do you plan to get ALL case law on the platform? if so, how do you pry some of what is locked up in LN/WestLaw?
3. if you don't have a full data set, how do you plan to monetize? to law firms or individuals who are perusing themselves?
thanks!!
thanks so much @Jacob_Heller!! super helpful. love the idea of knowledge management for law firms - i am not a lawyer myself but from my conversations with many others who are, this is a HUGE problem that needs to be solved. let me know if i can ever be helpful to you - i think what you are doing is very cool. :)
thanks also @razvanr for looping him in!
