Abstract

This article intends to provide a background of big data and law, and to provide insights on the interaction between professional legal ethics and big data analytics, i.e. whether a lawyer can be disciplined for failing to use big data analytics in litigation cases. While most references in this article will be made to developments in the US legal technology/legal industry scene, this article will also provide a short segment on general developments of big data and law in the developing world. Ultimately, this article hopes to shed light on what litigators may expect from the use of this technology that is gaining traction in the legal industry.
