Hands-on examples of legal search by Michael J. Bommarito II.
From the post:
I wanted to share with the group some of my recent work on search in the legal space. I have been developing products and service models, but I thought many of the experiences or guides could be useful to you. I would love to share some of this work to help foster a “hacker” community in which we might collaborate on projects.
The first few posts are based on Amazon’s CloudSearch service. CloudSearch, as the name suggests, is a “cloud-based” search service. Once you decide what and how you would like to search, Amazon handles procuring the underlying infrastructure, scaling to required capacity, stemming, stop-wording, building indices, etc. For those of you who do not have access to “search appliances” or labor to configure products like Solr, this offers an excellent opportunity.
Pointers to several posts by Michael that range from searching U.S. Supreme Court decisions, email archives, to statutory law.
From law to eDiscovery, something for everybody!
