Be patient, please—I will be bringing you the results of the CodeX/Thomson Reuter Legal Tech Open Innovation Challenge—Document Analytics winners shortly. But in the meantime, let’s catch up with some other items:

• Check out Above The Law’s  profile of CodeX Fellow Gurinder “Gary” Sangha.  Writes Joe Borstein: “Gary has already built a wildly successful legal startup (Intelligize), which helps lawyers—including, today, most of the Am Law 100— seamlessly research SEC filings,” noted Borstein. “Once Gary convinced dozens of firms to try something new, and Intelligize was profitable, stable and functioning on its own, Gary lived the entrepreneur dream: handing the reins to a trusted CEO, while retaining significant equity.”

Sangha’s second effort is Lit IQ—he was one of the presenters at the Nov. 20 CodeX Thomson Retuers Summit, along with Nehal Madhani (Alt Legal); Cian O’Sullivan (Beagle); Catherine Hammack (Jurispect); Neil Aggarwal (NavForward); Kushagra Shrivastava (123.ai) and Tony Lai and Pieter Gunst (Legal.io).

Sanga teaches at The University of Pennsylvania Law School. (The first annual Penn Law Legal Startup Pitch Nightwill be held Wednesday (Dec. 9).

 COMPUTER LEARNING & LAWYER’S MONEY

Also of interest from BBBLB is Thomas Barnett‘s article, “Will Computer Learning Replace Lawyer Earning?” Barnett is Special Counsel, eDiscovery and Data Scientist at Paul Hastings.  He addresses a “scary” question: “how much of what we do as lawyers actually requires thinking and how much can be relegated to robots and automation?”
