In the past year, several law firms have “hired” Ross, a robotic attorney powered in part by artificial intelligence, to perform legal research. Ross can understand questions asked in normal English and provide specific, analytic answers.
Lex Machina applies natural-language processing to millions of court decisions to find trends that can be used to a law firm’s advantage. For instance, the software can determine which judges tend to favor plaintiffs, summarize the legal strategies of opposing lawyers based on their case histories, and determine the arguments most likely to convince specific judges.
A Miami-based company called Premonition goes one step further and promises to predict the winner of a case before it even goes to court, based on statistical analyses of verdicts in similar cases. “Which attorneys win before which judges”?
If you can predict the winners and losers of court cases, why not bet on them?
A Silicon Valley start-up called Legalist offers “commercial litigation financing,” meaning it will pay a lawsuit’s fee and expenses if its algorithm determines that you have a good chance of winning, in exchange for a portion of any judgment in your favor.

Boston is raising streets, building anti-water constructions and even requiring that new high-rise condominium developments on its harbor acquire “aqua fences” — portable metal barriers that can be dragged to the street and anchored to the pavement protect from incoming waves.
The city spends $30 million a year, equal to 10 percent of Boston’s budget to defend the city from a watery future that is expected because of climate change.
“People talk about a managed retreat” for waterfront cities, said Boston’s chief of environment, energy and open space, Christopher Cook. “Where do we retreat to?”
Boston is retarders as the world’s eighth most vulnerable to floods among 136 coastal cities in the study produced by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The sea that surrounds Boston crept up 12 cm in the 20th century and is advancing ever faster toward the heart of the city. And as climate change accelerates, the pace of sea-level rise in Boston is expected to triple, adding eight inches 2030, according to a report commissioned by the city.
As much as or more than any other coastal city in the country, Boston is confronting this threat by taking steps now to contain the problem — at a relatively affordable price and within a short timeline. In Charlestown, the city plans to raise the level of Main Street at an estimated cost of as much as $3 million. The higher structure would block the main flood pathway and protect more than 250 residences and 60 businesses.The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is spending $22 million to build watertight steel doors that can be closed at the entrance of a rail tunnel near Fenway Park.
