Jurimetrics

Jurimetrics is like math, but it is used to study the law. It uses mathematical equations and statistics to look at data related to legal cases, to help lawyers figure out what is fair and right when deciding how to solve a legal dispute. It can look at things like the amount of time it takes for a case to be settled, or the number of cases that are won or lost based on the type of lawyer or judge involved in the case. Jurimetrics can also look at data from past cases to help predict the outcome of new cases.
