OpenCog as a legal research tool

[Mark Nuzz]

Has legal research been considered as an early use case for OpenCog?  For example:

* Finding out which legal defenses or strategies have been tried in a category of cases

* Finding out the success and failure rate of given legal strategies

* Estimating the reasoning that generally causes a legal strategy to be good or bad

* Suggesting legal strategies to use, given an input data set

A possible benchmark of the efficacy of such a system, would involve the success rate of predicting the winning parties in a set of court cases.

This seems like something that OpenCog could be used for in the near term, possibly becoming a lucrative source of income.

Once PLN is fully connected to the NLP pipeline, it might indeed be an
excellent use case for OpenCog.

Hello Mark,

ty for this idea!
Since legal language is more formal than every day NL, I think it is likely that success is more easy.
