Discover a New Way to Use Court Records
Is opposing counsel likely to settle or go to trial? How will the judge rule on a particular issue? The answers to these and other questions will affect the outcome of your client's case. You can try peering into a crystal ball…or use LexisNexis® CourtLink®.
LexisNexis CourtLink provides a whole new way to use court records to help litigators argue their cases more effectively. The vast majority of cases are resolved prior to trial through dispositive motions (e.g. summary judgment) or settlement. In order to be best prepared for such resolution opportunities, it is essential that litigators have a comprehensive understanding of the litigation history of the opposing party, opposing attorney and judge assigned to the case. CourtLink is uniquely positioned to meet this need with a deep historical database covering up to 20 years of case history.
With CourtLink you can:
- Search multiple court systems (e.g. federal and state) simultaneously
- Check the status of your document retrieval orders online
- Complete research faster than ever before!
Alert
The CourtLink service offers automated notifications of newly-filed cases so that you can be among the first to know when a client or prospect is sued—sometimes even before the client is served.
Track
Be among the first to know about new developments in existing cases of interest to you and your clients—cases in the same area of law, with the same opposing counsel, opposing party or judge. Set up a Track to monitor how the cases develop, what steps each of the parties take, and how the judge addresses various issues.
Search
Search through court records by party names, case types (i.e. nature of suit), docket or patent numbers, and even the language in the “captions” of filed documents—and pinpoint what you need. You can also search across multiple court systems in a single convenient search.
Dockets & Documents
Obtain a history of all of the dockets and online documents that have been viewed as well as check the status of your document retrieval orders.
Strategic Profiles
Review relevant information about key players in a case in a single easy-to-read report. Gain insight into a litigant's litigation history, an attorney's experience on a particular nature or suit, or a judge's tendencies and then map out litigation trends.
LexisNexis CourtLink gives you quick easy access to over 200 million federal and state court documents. And recently, LexisNexis CourtLink added a new user interface that makes it even faster and easier to use.
What's been added with the new user interface:
- Navigate among tasks and screens faster and more easily
- Search multiple court systems… simultaneously (no other service has this ability)
- Check the status of your document retrieval orders online
- Complete research faster than ever before
