Empirical Order to the World of Law

Individualizing The World's Litigation Metadata Israel-based legaltech seed stage big data startup currently in stealth mode. We are compiling the first comprehensive database of court statistics by identifying and compiling the non-content related granular data points that occur during the litigation process. Our system allows anyone to see how many times a particular lawyer has appeared in court, for what sort of cases, how often his client won or lost and much more. This provides an important empirical data consideration to the process of selecting a lawyer (or assessing your opponent) that is often based on ignorance at worst, and reputation and word of mouth at best, rather than concrete information. Similar analysis is provided for judges and parties (the plaintiffs and defendants) to litigation which is extremely useful for research and strategic analysis. Additional “big-data” predictive functionality available on our system can be a further extremely useful tool for those considering initiating a legal proceeding or for those considering their options or likelihood of success in court. Midat Hadin is defined in Jewish mysticism as “the attribute of strict judgment”, while in modern Hebrew, a minor variation leads to a play on words meaning “From Data, Judgment”. We feel this is the perfect embodiment of our product and its power to change both the way that citizens interact with the legal system as well as the accountability of and ability to assess legal professionals.
