Ask Marilyn: Who's Courtney?!

Mike Farrall of Columbia, Missouri, writes:

Marilyn: In your column about using a computer like Watson in our judicial system (January 6, 2013), to what or whom does "Courtney" refer?

Marilyn responds:

I apologize that I wasn't clear. The name "Courtney" refers to an imaginary computer (like the real Watson) that would be employed by courts.
