ABA Big Data Committee [Section of Science & Technology: Big Data]
“Big data” is defined as data of sufficient volume, complexity or velocity that it exceeds the capability of conventional current technology or methodology to process or analyze conventionally. To help meet the challenges, a multi-disciplinary area of data science has been tapped to pick up where conventional methods leave off. While the legal profession is no stranger to big data or science, this is the first formal effort by the ABA to establish global standards and best practices to fully meet the challenges imposed by big data using science.
