How Lex Machina Legal Analytics Works

Lex Machina uses artificial intelligence and technology-assisted attorney review to deliver comprehensive case resolutions, damages, remedies, findings, and accurate counsel and party data:

1. UNDERLYING DOCUMENTS: Our engineering processes acquire and maintain an unmatched, ever-updating database of case details and documents necessary to provide the best data.
   1. We gather raw information from dockets, including downloading millions of documents, to present the most comprehensive and accurate data possible.
2. CLEANING THE DATA: We clean, tag, code, enhance, and present the resulting data in a way that makes it easy for you to quickly access insights and grasp trends that are relevant to the legal matter you’re working on.
   1. We correct erroneous data and extract missing information, which would be overlooked by any other tool that relies solely on docket data.
      1. Our exclusive Attorney Data Engine (with our Signature Block Analyzer) is used to fix docket data and add law firms and attorneys to cases they worked on by reading the content of the underlying documents–the motions, filings, and orders–to figure out which law firms and attorneys were involved in those cases.
      2. Our legal experts further verify, refine, and annotate the data to ensure the highest possible accuracy and comprehensiveness of our analytics.
3. CUSTOMIZATION: Our platform allows you to slice and focus the data and analytics in a number of ways, including:
   1. Case refinement: narrowing by case type, date range, court, judge, findings, and more
   2. Quick Tools: efficient shortcuts to achieve customized analysis specific to your particular case
4. OUTCOME: The resulting analytics offer crucial insights on:
   1. Entities: judges, courts, law firms, attorneys, and parties
   2. Outcomes: case resolutions, timing, damages, findings, remedies, and motion metrics

We have maintained our superior standing in the world of litigation analytics by combining our cutting-edge artificial intelligence with insightful attorney review to ensure we provide you with the most accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date Legal Analytics.
