*·         Jason Hegland, Director, Securities Litigation Analytics @
Stanford Law School (SLA)*

SLA began as a simple faculty research project, and has transformed into a
large-scale data-collection and research effort into the public and private
securities enforcement mechanisms. Through the course of research, we have
collected data on over 3,000 class action and SEC lawsuits, including
information on the types of defendants being sued, the outcomes of the
cases and how settlement monies are funded. We are now looking to monetize
these data for use by practitioners in plaintiff and defense firms and the
D&O insurance industry.

   CodeX is a multidisciplinary laboratory operated by Stanford University
in association with affiliated organizations from industry, government, and
academia. The primary mission of the Center is to explore ways in which
information technology can be used to enhance the quality and efficiency of
our legal system while decreasing its cost. Our goal is "legal technology"
that empowers all parties in our legal system, not the legal profession per
se. Such technology should help affected individuals find, understand, and
comply with regulations; it should help enforcement organizations monitor
and/or enforce compliance; and it should help regulatory bodies analyze
proposed regulations for cost, overlap, inconsistency, etc.
