The courtroom is often called a "battlefield of records." But finding the certainty of victory among those records is never easy. Clients always ask, "Counsel, what are my chances of winning?"—and the answer has always been lost in the fog.
Lighting a Lamp of Data in the Fog of Law: A New Strategy for Winning Cases, Proposed by MAEUM Legal
The courtroom is often called a "battlefield of records." But finding the certainty of victory among those records is never easy. Clients always ask, "Counsel, what are my chances of winning?" Yet the answer to that question has always been lost in the fog. To lift this fog, we have brought MAEUM Legal into the world—a system that combines the logic of law with the precision of data.
A recent analysis of a "trade-secret infringement and non-compete lawsuit" demonstrates the power of MAEUM Legal in stark terms. On the surface, the case looked promising: there was a non-compete agreement and there were data-exfiltration logs, so the odds of winning seemed high. But the engine's analysis was coldly sober: "Probability of winning: 45%."
This was not simply a pessimistic figure. MAEUM Legal dug into the legal issues of "the specificity of the trade secret" and "the maintenance of secrecy." It used data to prove that the algorithm in question closely resembled an open-source library, and that the non-compete agreement could be void in the absence of reasonable compensation.
What is even more remarkable is the "scenario design" that followed the analysis. The AI calculated the enormous litigation period of three to five years and the legal costs running into hundreds of millions of won. Then it offered the most realistic advice to the researcher and the entrepreneur: "Rather than taking on the additional risk of litigation, it is strategically advantageous to end the dispute through settlement."
This is not a technology that views the law coldly. It is a warm technology that supports human judgment—quantifying legal risk so that the client can make the wisest possible "choice." The outcome of a lawsuit may rest with the judge, but minimizing the energy consumed along the way and securing the momentum to move on to the next business venture is the true "heart of the law" that MAEUM Legal strives for.
