Four years ago, Daniel Lewis walked away from a promising Big Law career to co-found Ravel Law, a San Francisco-based startup that aims to transform legal research. He got big dose of fresh publicity this fall, when his company inked a deal with Harvard Law School to put the institution’s entire library online.
As The New York Times reports, the project involves the “once-unthinkable step” of slicing the spines from nearly all the books in Harvard’s collection so that they can be fed into high-speed scanners. Ravel expects all the material to be online by 2017, allowing users to search and explore connections between cases for free.
