It’s no secret that the technology driving search – specifically legal research – has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Within Thomson Reuters, Legal, Peter Jackson has been in the middle of the effort to make improvements behind the scenes that benefit customers, no matter where in the world they happen to be when they access the information we have.
In this video interview, Jackson – Chief Scientist and Vice President at Thomson Reuters, Legal – describes the current state of legal search and what West is doing to improve it by focusing on both technology and editorial expertise:
Jackson adds that West and Westlaw offer “an enormous repository of data, of really good textual data, good textual summaries and good hand classifications that our algorithms can grow upon” and a large user base of experts in their fields who continually interact with documents. In a sense, “telling us what they find interesting and what they find to be useful.”
