Learn how Protégé™ in Lex Machina uses generative artificial intelligence to revolutionize the way legal professionals interact with data, leading to more favorable litigation outcomes and an improved bottom line for your business.
We’ve designed Protégé in Lex Machina with the goal of simplifying user access to critical legal insights. The result is an intuitive and efficient path to industry-leading litigation intelligence, empowering users to focus on strategic decisions instead of on clicking through menus.
The breadth of capabilities within Lex Machina can be daunting to new or occasional users. Protégé in Lex Machina addresses this challenge by simplifying access to analytics, allowing users to concentrate their time on the critical insights provided, rather than locating them. This facilitates rapid decision-making and empowers a broader audience to leverage powerful insights without requiring extensive experience in data analysis or legal research.
For example, a user might input a query like, "How long do copyright cases take in Nevada?" Protégé in Lex Machina would then generate a response that includes specific data parameters (e.g., "Court=Nevada District court", "Case type=Copyright”), along with a URL to the relevant analytics tab within Lex Machina.
Protégé in Lex Machina adds value across sectors, including law firms, solo practitioners, in-house counsel, courts, government agencies, law schools, liability insurers, and litigation funders. Each customer benefits from the groundbreaking ability to transform complex data into actionable legal insights effortlessly. More efficiently than ever before, Protégé in Lex Machina facilitates data-informed decisions for claim valuation, risk assessment, counsel retention, venue selection, motion strategy, settlement negotiation, trial tactics, appellate review, law firm marketing, client prospecting, fee pricing, lateral hiring, and more.
For example, the user may input any of the following and receive corresponding analytics:
Protégé in Lex Machina is built upon a two-phase generative model architecture designed to streamline user inputs into actionable legal intelligence. It starts with a generative model, initialized with specialized instructions and semantic sigils. These crucial sigils encode the comprehensive structure and relationships within our database, ensuring that the system “understands” the intricate web of litigation data that it processes.
In the second phase, Protégé in Lex Machina parses user input and maps it to the appropriate elements within the encoded database. Whether the user inputs a question, statement, or prompt into Protégé in Lex Machina, the result is highly tailored analytics, in the form of a direct link to the page within Lex Machina that most closely addresses the user's query.
Unlike generic AI tools, Protégé in Lex Machina is built on a foundation of meticulously structured analytics, ensuring insights are accurate, relevant, and actionable. This layered approach — in which AI enhances an already robust data infrastructure — ensures that Protégé in Lex Machina is not just another off-the-shelf AI-powered tool, but a true evolution in legal intelligence.
