I am so glad other people are thinking about this. I think the potential use of ML and AI for helping with legal matters is absolutely huge, and I think it is one of those things that would add incredibly to a large number of people's lives. I've been financially intimidated by the threat of frivolous lawsuits far too often over the last five years, and I know the problem isn't unique to me. Even if you are undeniably right, you can easily drop $100k proving it. It's the same problem that is at the root of patent trolls. This is a fantastic idea, and it's good to see the Watson team working on such fantastic stuff. I honestly hope I get a chance to help them with their efforts at some point.
