MENLO PARK, Calif. , Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company, recently released expanded and enhanced Legal Analytics for the remainder of its federal district court dataset, marking the completion of its full federal district court coverage ("Full Federal"). Now, every civil case filed in federal district court that Lex Machina covers will have been reviewed in order to extract any applicable findings, remedies, and damages. This additional set of crucial outcome analytics comprises the final 15% of the civil federal dataset and consists of approximately 500,000 cases. Lex Machina's powerful expanded Legal Analytics are also now available via the Litigation Analytics experience in Lexis+.

The release of Full Federal also enables access to an improved interface, updated tools, and new capabilities for a more in-depth, detailed, and nuanced understanding of this new comprehensive dataset. For example, the "Custom Columns" feature streamlines the creation, sharing, and export of customized reports. In addition, Lex Machina has implemented "Findings Search", a feature that allows users to search findings within a specific practice area for those findings that are most relevant to their own case and practice.

"Legal Analytics are only as powerful as their level of accuracy and comprehensiveness," said Ellen Chen, Legal Data Lead for full Federal. "When attorneys use insights from Legal Analytics to advise their clients, craft litigation strategy, or compete for business, they need to know the analytics and the underlying dataset is complete. We're incredibly excited Full Federal achieves completion of our federal district court coverage because our superior analytics and underlying dataset enable legal professionals to leverage powerful and reliable data-driven insights on the litigation histories and track records that matter most to them."

Now, Lex Machina provides outcome-driven analytics, including damages and case resolutions, for every federal district court case that it covers – over 3.7 million civil cases. These outcome analytics are built on data from over 17.5 million documents.

Lex Machina offers practice area specific analytics for 22 areas of law and has now added outcome analytics using a general schema for the previously uncategorized cases. New case tags are available that apply across all 3.7 million cases, including Admiralty / Maritime, Forfeiture / Penalty, FOIA, Immigration, and RICO.
