In the Spring of 2020, Christopher will be part of an interdisciplinary student team which will explore the application of data science techniques to a client's legal questions. This team will work in conjunction with Georgia State's new Legal Analytics Lab, overseen by faculty from GSU's College of Law and Institute for Insight.Legal analytics refers to the software-enabled analysis and visualization of various kinds of legal data to accomplish both descriptive and predictive goals. New data methodologies automate data collection practices, provide informative data to contextualize current legal questions and make predictions about future outcomes. Our team will assess the most relevant applications of data analytics to solving legal problems and apply iterative project design to identify the most successful methodologies, culminating in a presentation of our findings at the end of the Spring Semester.
