By

Tries hard. Doesn't quite make it out of the oven in one piece.
Summary
The author argues that graph databases are well-suited for legal work because: (1) the scale of legal documents (a few dozen per case) is manageable for graph systems, unlike large codebases; and (2) legal work revolves around defined entities with standardized taxonomies (e.g., Noslegal) that align well with graph ontologies. The author has been bullish on graph DBs for law since November 2024.
