I graduated from law school (Cornell), and I'm also a developer.

For those that didn't attend law school, law school is virtually three years of learning how to spot legal issues from facts (that's why people say law school teaches you how to think).

So I wrote a program that can spot issues from facts.

Care to say more about the underlying technology? The web site claims ‘supercharged with ibm watson’. I wrote two separate tort fact patterns, and both times it returned ‘facts likely yield no legal issues’.

The tech is patent pending but we used some Watson tech for some stuff on the backend.

The program is still learning new tort facts patterns. If you tried it out with a torts fact pattern that yielded results or no results, then use the thumbs up or thumbs down to train it.

Try it with some of the sample patterns I linked to in the first comment.

It continues to learn new issues ...
