Clifford Chance Selects ContraxSuite to Power its new Data Science Lab

Daniel Katz

We are very happy that Clifford Chance has selected ContraxSuite and LexNLP to power its Legal Data Science Lab … Overall, I think there is increasing interest in flexible AI toolkits as opposed to individual point solutions. We are happy that a number of leading law firms, including Clifford Chance, have chosen to license our offerings, including but not limited to ContraxSuite and LexNLP.

Workshop on Natural Legal Language Processing (NLLP) at North American Association of Computational Linguistics Conference

clsadmin

The First Workshop on Natural Legal Language Processing (NLLP) will take place as part of the larger North American Association of Computational Linguistics Conference in Minneapolis June 2019.  NAACL is one of the  premier technical events in the field of NLP / Computational Linguistics.  Thus, I am very happy to give one of the Keynotes at this workshop.  It is one more step toward making Legal Informatics and Legal AI / NLP a mainstream idea within the technically oriented portion of the academy. 

I plan to highlight both my work with Mike Bommarito and others as well as provide an overview of the state of the field from both a technical and commercial perspective.

In our second annual workshop on law and social science methods, we call for papers on two increasingly popular approaches: network science and machine learning.

The Keynote Speaker for the workshop is Dan Katz, Illinois Tech – Chicago Kent College of Law, who has been a pioneer in the use of both methods in understanding and predicting the behavior of the US Supreme Court and advancing the field of legal technology”
