FASTforward’09 Interview: Matt Skone, Senior Software Engineer, LexisNexis
by Joshua-Michéle Ross
Matt Skone is a man with unique problems. As senior software engineer with LexisNexis his customers are lawyers. The unique problem that Matt faces lies in how lawyers need to search and consume information. Lawyers need to ensure that they have exhaustively reviewed all relevant content (think about missing an old ruling that set a precedent upon which your case might hinge). The most “popular” or “highly rated” content that might be helpful for average consumers does not help lawyers . The holy grail in the case of LexisNexis is to help lawyers know when they done searching.
