Case List Analyzer™
Legal Analytics is a powerful tool that can help you win cases and win business, and one of its greatest strengths is that it allows you to filter and refine the dataset to only those cases and analytics that are most relevant to you and your client.
It’s Hard to Find Cases Like Yours
Often, litigation analytics tools don’t have the ability to narrow their dataset down to the relevant cases that matter, so they end up having to throw all of their data at their customers without refinement. Without the ability to specify and customize, you end up with an overinclusive set of analytics that is irrelevant and inapplicable to your case and your client.
Find Cases Easily with Case List Analyzer
With Lex Machina, case lists are just the beginning. We create Legal Analytics that are tailored to the cases that matter to you. Our Case List Analyzer helps you surface strategic information from only the cases you care about, quickly and easily. You can gain valuable data-driven insights on how to approach a case, learn more about the players, or strategize how to defend against legal action.
How It Works
Case List Analyzer puts you in the driver’s seat, enabling you to select cases based on your specific criteria. With just a couple click, you gain custom insights for your set of cases. Filter your list by case type (i.e., practice area), date range, courts, judges, case resolutions, damages, findings, parties, counsel, and more, to build the case list you care about. Within each practice area, you can refine your analytics further by selecting the types of claims you care about via customized case tags (e.g., under Employment, you can narrow down to cases that involved a discrimination claim, an FLSA claim, or an accommodation claim, amongst many others).
Case List Analyzer provides you charts and graphs on every case list page to help you uncover strategic information and visualize trends, without having to drill down into each and every case. The Summary view includes the types of case filings, the most active courts and judges, the number of open and terminated cases, and more.

How Case List Analyzer Helps You
Filters and Tags
Lex Machina maintains over 100 practice-area specific case tags and 15 general case tags, all of which are used to filter cases with particular claims or attributes. Cases are tagged based on the actual claims in the pleadings, which is only possible because Lex Machina downloads millions of documents and then uses machine learning technology and human attorney review to identify all relevant claims. This is why Lex Machina’s clients are able to narrow down patent cases to only those that deal with an ANDA dispute, or filter consumer protection cases to only those with a claim under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This way, you can ensure that the Legal Analytics informing your decisions are the most accurate and relevant to your case.
Tailored Analytics
Case List Analyzer can help you focus on customized insights for different facets of our Legal Analytics:
- Damages – filter by damages types in any specific practice area and focus on a particular date range of damages awarded.
- Timing – filter by key litigation events (e.g., trial, termination, summary judgment, dismissal, etc.) and focus on a particular date range of termination.
- Case Resolutions – filter by different types of case resolution (e.g., claimant win, claim defendant win, likely settlement, procedural) and select any specific key litigation events of interest (e.g., summary judgment, judgment on the pleadings, consent judgment, trial).
- Case Findings – filter by particular findings in any specific practice area.
- Remedies – filter by remedy type (permanent injunction, preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order) and focus on cases that were granted or denied at different litigation events (default judgment, consent judgment, judgment on the merits.
