Announcing Vizlegal Timelines
*Tap tap* is this on? Ok it's been a while since we talked about Vizlegal updates, but we can safely say we had a very busy summer, much of it involving data cleaning... Everyone loves to talk about AI in law, not many talk about the less glamorous data cleaning part.👀

We wanted to let everyone know about our latest feature. Vizlegal has a very large database of High Court cases details (“Records” or “Dockets” as they are sometimes known) in Ireland and England & Wales, numbering more than 832,000 between 1990 and today.
