Subtitled "A Big Data Look at Litigation" and billed on its cover as revealing "a very, very unfair advantage in litigation," this 20-page report works through a set of questions about how law firm size relates to results in court.
Its table of contents opens with a "Moneyball for law" framing before moving through whether big firms win more often than small ones, how the big firms compare against each other, and whether a client is better served choosing by attorney or by firm. Later sections turn to whether an unfair advantage exists in litigation outcomes and whether firms can reliably recognize their own top talent.
The report builds its case section by section, using litigation outcome data to test assumptions about firm size and selection that are often taken on faith.
