Editor's Notes
The source code consists of seven lines. Each line is numbered to the left of the column. First, the code on line 2 generates a sphere with a radius of 10. Second, the code on line 4 generates a cylinder with a height of 20 and a radius of 5. The code on line three spaces, or translates, the two shapes apart from each otherit is moved 15 units to the right on the x-axis, 15 units to the right on the y-axis, and 10 units back on the z-axis (this is the third dimension). When viewed with perspective, the cylinder appears behind the sphere, lower, and to the right.

Unfortunately, lawyers are very, very bad at viewing law like data. Lawyers are looking in the wrong spot. They look at the opinions. Opinions are very hard to analyze. Very subjective. Requires coding, very difficult and time consuming.
But thats where data and computer scientists can help. My bg is in CS before law school.
Data. We need data. About everything.
