With the March program of ALM's ongoing Legalweek(year) event just around the corner, we thought we'd dig into how law firms and in-house counsel can leverage technology to shape their litigation strategies.

This week's episode features a conversation with Nicole Clark, co-founder and CEO of Los Angeles-based Trellis Research, which helps state court litigators and in-house legal departments use artificial intelligence and data analytics to learn more about the judges they'll be appearing before, the opposing counsel they'll be squaring off against and even a little bit about themselves. Clark discusses how data can assist law firms and their clients in making better decisions and taking more creative approaches to resolve litigation. She also dishes on how difficult it can sometimes be to get lawyers to understand the benefits of embracing legal tech.
