This is an excerpt from WHY YOUR LAW FIRM DESPERATELY NEEDS A LEGAL CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The first legal case management software rolled out in the early 90s. Since then, thousands of law firms and legal departments have invested in such software as a way to improve efficiencies and provide better client service. Although the benefits of legal case management software are well-known, some law firms still haven’t implemented such software in their practices. And, despite other law firms are experiencing positive results with legal case management software, some of them are still unwilling to make the switch. Some of the reasons may be:

Some of them are reluctant to invest in a new system since they want immediate ROI, yet a legal case management system is a valuable but long-term investment.

Other law firms are mistakenly looking at legal case management system as an immature solution because they are misinformed about its efficiency.

Some believe they don’t need a unified system. However, using several programs will never be as efficient as one unified system.

Most legal practices are having “wait and see” approach when it comes to new technology, but legal case management has been around for more than half-century now. And, since the legal profession is becoming more and more competitive, it is important to utilize tools, like legal case management software, which will help you stay one step ahead of your competitors.

In average, Public Defenders are faced with 400 cases per month or more than 4500 cases per year. This huge number is impossible to fulfill and hard to do it without making mistakes.

Fortunately, this could be helped with Artificial Intelligence.

How Can AI Minimize the Work of Public Defenders?

In the past, AI has proven to be a good assistant to people, and today it has proven very useful in almost every industry.

So, let’s focus on how AI-powered solutions can help Public Defenders:

•    Sentiment Analysis of Transcribed Statements

This tool uses linguistic analysis to identify emotional and language tones in the text. Public Defenders will be able to build a proper case in less time and to protect the person with higher efficiency.  

•    Transcription of Hearings and Pre-Hearings

Thanks to AWS – AI-based transcription platform Public Defenders can find the documents they are looking for much more comfortable and faster, also manage the same information together with all other case-related data.

•    Face Expression Recognition

Using this tool, Public Defenders will be able to recognize the person by face and expressions. This tool is as a real-time lie detector based on known “Truth and Lie Moments” of people from recorded videos or in real time.

To Sum Up

With the evaluation of AI technologies, Public Defenders can finally improve their operations. Having a system that can figure out the reliability of the story with emotions and sentiment is painless for them. This will make their job easier and much more effective.

I have talked about Armedia’s Legal Case Management Module so many times now, and every time I finish writing a blog post, I feel like I have left something out. Going through my recent blog posts, I’ve realized that I haven’t spent much time explaining the Artificial Intelligence (AI) component in our Legal Case Management Module.

Moving away from the Hollywood image for AI as rebel robots with human-like appearance, AI, in fact, is an excellent Case Management assistant to any Legal Department.

Why? Because, multimedia transcription.

Let me explain.

Imagine a legal case. A courtroom, witness interviews, cross-examinations, police testimonials. Everything gets recorded. Everything gets typed in by the stenographer. Everything except people’s emotions when they say something that can be crucial for the case.

Now, imagine the legal workers going through stenography recordings to find specific keywords. Tedious, at best.

Now imagine how much better it would be if you could just take the video recordings of all the hearings and simply, extract the text, make it searchable, and make it clickable… so you can find every single mention of a word and jump to the exact spot in the exact video file where this word is mentioned.

This is an excerpt taken from How AI-Based Transcription Services Are Changing The Legal Sector.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the legal sector evolves, so does the fear among legal workers. Many legal professionals fear that AI will make such a change in the legal sector that human effort will no longer be required.

But, the truth is that many of the misunderstandings regarding AI come from peoples’ limited experience with AI technologies. Instead of fearing AI technologies, we should make use of them since they can be beneficial in many fields, especially in the legal sector.

What if I tell you that you can use AI to focus on analyzing and interpreting legal content instead of organizing it?

Yes, it’s true. You could finally leave the administration work behind and spend your days as you imagined you would when you signed up for law school: helping people and do justice.

Let’s see what Dr. Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio, a behavioral scientist and senior research fellow for Harvard Law School’s Center on the Legal Profession thinks about AI in the legal sector:

“The way to look at it, I think, is that AI, machine learning and deep learning will be a way of complimenting people’s decision-making, allowing us to make the most interesting work our priority. We will be able to answer very complicated questions — key strategic questions — and having more fun doing it. Because the tedious work, which until very recently was still done by having 100 lawyers gathered in a back room to do document review, is now (at least, in much of the legal industry) being done by programs in order to provide lawyers with the best outcome or decision. Therefore, AI can free up lawyers to focus on the more analytical and strategic thinking aspect of tasks − because, despite AI’s ability to locate, distill and organize any quantity of data for the needed information, the interpretation of the information still needs to be done by a human being.”
