This document discusses how big data and machine learning can assist with legal decision making. It describes existing examples like FantasySCOTUS that crowdsource Supreme Court predictions and Harlan.co, which uses big data to help with legal tasks like drafting contracts. The document envisions a future where "assisted decision making" uses artificial intelligence to provide guidance to lawyers, litigants, and non-lawyers on cases, motions, opinions and other legal matters by crunching and analyzing large amounts of legal data. Intelligent assistants could one day draft documents, answer questions, and help navigate the legal system.

insurance?
Shall I draft the contract?
