Docket Science’s technology is designed to augment machine-backed technologies in Fastcase’s legal research platform

 

San Francisco (March 15, 2021) – Fastcase has acquired the legal technology assets of Docket Science, a San Francisco-based legal research technology provider widely recognized as an innovator in the legal tech space. Today, Docket Science’s tech stack joins Fastcase’s other innovative technologies — all to further Fastcase’s goal of democratizing the law.

 

After graduating from Stanford and working at Google, Ashkon Farhangi founded Docket Science in 2018 with the mission of applying the newest state-of-the-art machine learning and natural language processing advances coming out of top research labs to practical legal technology applications that are impactful for lawyers and their clients. Over the past three years, Docket Science has built a suite of legal research automation technologies, including its citator system. Today, those technologies become part of the Fastcase family.

 

“Fastcase has a long history of making quality legal research products accessible as broadly as possible,” said Farhangi. “Their team’s commitment to democratizing access to the law is obvious. We are thrilled that our work at Docket Science has helped Fastcase better understand how our tech stack could improve Fastcase’s existing technologies.”
