With this release, the company continues its commitment to the most accurate, comprehensive, and complete litigation analytics on the market

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company, today takes the next step forward in providing the most accurate, comprehensive, and complete litigation analytics on the market by incorporating Legal Analytics for state motion practice ("State Motion Metrics") into the platform. State Motion Metrics allows users to quickly assess their state motion strategy and easily identify winning arguments. Lex Machina has released State Motion Metrics for the four Delaware state courts, including the Delaware Court of Chancery, as well as Los Angeles County Superior Court, with additional plans to roll out State Motion Metrics in more courts later this year.

"Our analytics allow users to understand motion strategy, including judges' past behavior with dynamic grant/denial rates, as well as the cases and documents to back up that research," said Karl Harris, CEO of Lex Machina. "Lex Machina is the best analytics tool to understand the complete picture for case strategy, including motion strategy, because of the work we do to clean, organize, and enhance our data."

State Motion Metrics allows users to:

Explore 37 motion types in depth
View grant rates and outcomes (granted, denied, partially granted/denied, and moot/withdrawn)
Compare a judge's grant rate with the court's grant rate for a particular motion
Examine timing trends for each motion type
Facet by judge, court, motion type, outcome, and more
Search and review relevant orders behind the statistics

Lex Machina's state court data is the best in the industry because of the systems the company uses to clean, organize, and enhance the data. By systematically collecting important documents for all of its state courts, Lex Machina and its users have access to the ruling itself. The Lex Machina team uses a cutting-edge deep learning model to create the new State Motion Metrics, and Lex Machina's attorneys apply and test the model for accuracy and completeness. This means that when users filter by a judge, Lex Machina has connected that judge to the orders on their docket and used the orders themselves in order to determine the outcome of the ruling.

Unique features of Lex Machina's state court analytics include:

Comprehensive statistics for judges, counsel, and parties
Case rulings and case resolutions
Damages awarded at trial
Pre-downloaded documents and the ability to retrieve non-downloaded documents

State court expansion remains a top priority at Lex Machina. The company is adding modules on a court-by-court basis, with an emphasis on strict data quality and integrity. Lex Machina currently offers Legal Analytics for 27 state courts, which encompasses over 3.3 million individual cases. We are proud of this key achievement in our state court journey.
