The system, CourtCash, uses three variables on which to make its analysis - number of words spoken by the justices to the lawyers for each side, the sentiment behind the words and the number of interuptions from the judges to each side. Views are mixed as to whether this is a breakthrough. The Court finds on behalf of the petitioner in 68% of cases - and specialist court reporters claim to have accuracy rates on their predictions higher than CourtCash.
