Abstract: Abstract This book examines the use of Big Data and statistical analyses in litigation. This is timely as the use and reliance upon Big Data by business and government has exploded. From a public policy and legal perspective, the implications of this are indeed monumental. Using examples, court decisions, and discussions, we draw connections across many different types of litigation. In business disputes, employment cases, consumer class actions, and even personal injury lawsuits, the analysis of enormous amounts of data often provides evidence that would be otherwise unattainable from witnesses testifying to the facts of the case.
