                         I. INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the words big data have reverberated in multiple industries
across numerous countries - from social media platforms to banks such as
Facebook' and Morgan  Stanley2 respectively, companies are joining the big
data bandwagon. The legal industry has also begun embracing the use of big
data analytics in their work-in early zo16, it was reported that lawyers have
used big data tools, for the purposes of billing, time management, mar-
keting and customer relations functions. Considering the growing interest
and reliance by law firms on big data, it is interesting to explore the trend
of how such technology could be applied to the fundamental research and
case preparation which is the core of their job.3 One such possibility is the
use of big data in litigation.
