Cover Story: In 1897, the American jurist, Oliver Wendell Holmes stated: “for the rational study of the law, the man of the future is the man of statistics” advocating the rise of new quantitative and scientific approaches to legal issues. One hundred and twenty years later, the future foreseen by Holmes is becoming reality. The combination of data-driven computational methods and law allows for innovative answers to the needs of legal science and practice; answers becoming available that range from quantitative legal prediction to the use of network analysis and machine learning in legal analysis and information retrieval. Analytical platforms are an integral part of this future... View this paper.
