Logic-Language-Law, Layman E. Allen

Book Chapters

One legal tool which is not machine operated but is helpful in the study of computer technology and its applications to law is symbolic logic. But this tool is also helpful to the attorney who is not at all interested in computers; it will help improve his understanding of the profession's basic tool: the English language.

When examined as a tool useful for lawyers, symbolic logic is perhaps best viewed as a language. It can be regarded as a carefully and precisely constructed language that has been expressly designed for explicit purposes, rather than one that has evolved haphazardly through …

The Problem Of Communications In Meeting The Information Requirements Of The Courts, Layman Allen

Book Chapters

My remarks are addressed to one aspect of the general problem of communication involved in meeting the information requirements of the courts. It transcends merely the court; however, it is a problem throughout the legal decision-making system. The efficiency of t:ourts in processing information is just one part of a larger picture of effective communication within the legal system. Phrased broadly, the question involves discerning the optimum man-machine mix in the processing of information. Nobody can reasonably quarrel with the goal of taking the fullest possible advantage of the benefits of emerging technology, as long as objectives of greater importance …

Law Reviews And Full Disclosure, William O. Douglas

Washington Law Review

Rather I propose an editorial policy that puts in footnote number one the relevant affiliations of the author. If the article is paid for, I would not necessarily require the disclosure of the amount of the fee; the fact that there was a fee would be sufficient. If there were no fee but a client's interest was reflected in the article, I would want disclosure of that client's identity. If the author was a freelancer in a particular field, I would want a general statement that his professional interest lay in the direction of certain types of litigation. That kind …

Predicting Court Cases Quantitatively, Stuart Nagel

Michigan Law Review

This article illustrates and systematically compares three methods for quantitatively predicting case outcomes. The three methods are correlation, regression, and discriminant analysis, all of which involve standard social science research techniques. Two prior articles have generated requests for a study dealing with the problems involved in handling a larger number of cases and predictive variables. The present article is also designed to provide such a study. It does not presuppose that the reader has read the earlier articles, although such a reading might help to clarify further some of the points made here. The cases used to illustrate the methods …

Automation And The Lawyer, F. Reed Dickerson

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Computers and automation have brought about what some have called the "Second Industrial Revolution." But automation is most frequently considered and discussed as it applies to industry or to scientific research. In this article, Professor Dickerson points out that lawyers, too, are already greatly affected by the age of automation. Computers can probably be most useful to lawyers in the area of research, but as the writer indicates, they can and are being used for such diverse things as estate planning, legislative redistricting and predicting in advance the outcome of judicial decisions.
