AALL Big Data Panel: Discussing Big Data Opportunities with Firm Partners

Earlier today, we presented for the first time at the Annual AALL (American Association of Law Librarians) Conference on the topic of Big Data. The session/presentation was part of the ILTA's AALL education track. The big data panel consisted of:

• Jobst Elster - Moderator - Head of Content & Legal Market Strategy, InsideLegal.com
• John D. Bowers - Assistant Director, Business Development, Fox Rothschild LLP
• Gina B. Lynch - National Director, Knowledge Services, Bingham McCutchen LLP
• Emily Rushing - Competitive Intelligence Manager, Haynes & Boone, LLP

Three objectives were set for the program:

1. Provide an overview of big data and share tips and best practices for planning and executing a big data project including where to start and who to involve.
2. Have attendees gain a deeper understanding of big data’s current and future role in the legal profession, and learn about specific legal big data scenarios that will broaden this understanding – and perhaps even inspire projects of their own.
3. Provide a list of tools and resources (many that they already own) which can serve as big data “kick-starters.”

We really enjoyed our first visit to the AALL Conference and would like to thank our fabulous panel for their time and assistance in developing the program as well as ILTA/TJ for her assistance and work coordinating all the education as part of the technology/ILTA track.
