eDiscovery Consulting in the Cloud: Searching an Outlook mailbox and attachments

  Dan and I recently released a new legal informatics project with a few colleagues. The project, which we've named the Legal Language Explorer, provides an interface similar to Google Ngrams Viewer for the U.S. Supreme Court.
