Last September, Geek #2, sent me a short email asking if I knew anything about the product called Justly. His short description of how Justly had a case categorization feature, and was pulling data from the Federal Courts (not that big a deal), and thousands of State Courts (huge deal), made my ears

Ravel Law’s New Analytics Tool for US Courts
I had a chance to talk with Ravel Law’s CEO, Daniel Lewis last week about Ravel’s new analytical tool for US Courts. I’ve been doing less and less product reviews lately because Bob Ambrogi and Jean O’Grady do a much better job at reviewing new products than I, but Daniel and Ravel Law have been…
Say Hello to Casetext’s CARA – Case Analysis Research Assistant
As many of you that follow 3 Geeks know, I’m a big fan of the products that are coming out of Stanford University’s CODEX program.

ModioLegal: Hear the Future of Legal News
A couple months ago, I had a great conversation with Kevin Mitchell of ModioLegal about his product and its “reading the news” concept.

My friend, Marlene Gebauer and I conducted five polls during our presentation, and the audience could answer by going to a webpage and clicking the…
TLO's Vehicle Sightings Search Releases Tomorrow
In this day and age of constant communications and observation, I guess the announcement from TLO shouldn’t surprise me as much as it did. It seems that TLO is launching a new service tomorrow that will use License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology and will return to you the places, times and dates that those license…
GeoGuessr: Making a Game out of Google Maps
I usually put some of the non-legal (but fun) things on Friday posts, but today I am leaning toward more of the “Geeks” side of the blog than the “Law” side. Last week I saw a tweet fly by that mentioned GeoGuessr, so I had a few free moments to go try it out.…
