New Comparator Apps Compare Courts, Judges, Law Firms

Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company, announced two new applications – Courts & Judges Comparator and Law Firms Comparator – designed to compare courts, judges and law firms.

Courts and Judges Comparator enables attorneys to compare up to four federal districts and judges to gain critical insights regarding caseloads, timing to key milestones, case resolutions, specific findings, and damages, the company said in a release. Plaintiffs’ attorneys can use the app to compare multiple districts prior to filing, to select the one most likely to provide the most favorable outcome in the shortest amount of time. Defense counsel can use the app to make data-driven decisions about whether or not to pursue a transfer of venue and, if so, to which district.

Law Firms Comparator enables powerful side-by-side comparison of up to four law firms, with instant display of a broad range of case-specific data. Companies choosing outside counsel, and law firms competing for new business, can now compare actual results produced by law firms in their open and terminated cases.
