Faster Insight Across Your Legal Research with AI Summaries in Lexis+® with Protégé

If you have Lexis+ with Protégé, you have a game-changing time saver in your legal research pocket. AI-generated summaries in the Legal Research experience of Lexis+ Protégé help legal information professionals quickly evaluate search results across multiple content types, including caselaw, agency decisions, regulations, administrative codes, Law360 and Mealey’s articles, and statutory Code Compare results. 

Depending on the content, summaries are automatically generated when users: 

  • open qualifying cases (decisions over 5,000 characters that lack editorial summaries and headnotes),
  • view certain administrative materials (for federal and state administrative codes exceeding 1,500 characters, administrative agency decisions are automatically created for decisions exceeding 5,000 characters),  
  • access news materials (Law360 and Mealey’s articles over 500 words), 
  • compare statutes, or  

  • enter a citation into Protégé Ask.  

These AI-generated summaries allow researchers to quickly assess key points, identify important changes or holdings, and swiftly decide whether deeper review is necessary, saving valuable time while supporting more confident, efficient legal analysis.
