...last day before they gratefully hung up their robes for the summer, the Justices delivered themselves of a mind-numbing 689 pages of opinions. It had, in fact, been one of the longest sessions in history (270 days), with the greatest workload in years (full opinions were written in 131 cases).

Programming a computer to recognize important themes and sift out relevant data would greatly reduce the human workload. The FBI could also use such a technique for tapped phones: instead of having an agent listen to all the conversations, a computer equipped to recognize spoken words could monitor the phone and print out conversations relating to themes it had been programmed to recognize as important...
