Lex Machina's newest state court releases in
New York and Oklahoma expands its enhanced coverage to 100
state courts, providing unparalleled insights into a total of 5.5
million state court cases
MENLO
PARK, Calif., May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company, recently
released additional state courts to its platform and now provides
Legal Analytics for Suffolk County Supreme Court and Westchester
County Supreme Court (the "New York Courts") and Oklahoma County District Court (the
"Oklahoma Court"). With the
addition of these courts, Lex Machina reached a momentous milestone
of expanding its enhanced coverage of state courts to 100
courts.
Lex Machina's enhanced state court Legal Analytics give
practitioners essential insights on judges, courts, law firms,
individual attorneys, and parties in key venues across the United States.
Notable features of this enhanced coverage include filters for
trial rulings, trial resolutions, and trial damages, and the
ability to quickly drill down to relevant data sets using an
extensive collection of filters for case types and documents.
Additionally, litigators can use our recently enhanced cross-court
filters to conduct state-wide searches and get new quantified,
multi-court analytics on judges, courts, law firms, attorneys, and
parties. Legal professionals can leverage these unique parameters
to further derive insights and benefit from the Legal
Analytics.
The New York Courts add over 240,000 civil cases while the
Oklahoma Court serves Oklahoma City and adds over 140,000 civil
cases, bringing our total state court cases to over 5.5 million
civil cases. With these new enhanced courts, Lex Machina now
provides enhanced Legal Analytics coverage of 62% of the population
of New York and 59% of the
population of Oklahoma.
"We know how important it is for the legal community to be able
to gain insights into specific state courts, given the bulk of
litigation that takes place in those state court venues," said
Chuan Qin, product manager at Lex
Machina and lead on the New York
and Oklahoma state court modules.
"That's why we're especially proud that our ever-expanding enhanced
coverage of state courts has reached a milestone of one hundred
courts. Adding these enhanced state courts in New York and Oklahoma brings our coverage to the majority
of the population in each state, and it provides our customers with
crucial insights in these venues."
With the new New York and
Oklahoma court modules, our
research uncovered the following data trends for all of the cases
filed in these courts between January 1,
2016 and December 31,
2023:
- The total damages awarded at trial for medical malpractice
cases in Suffolk County and
Westchester County Supreme Courts, excluding attorney's fees, was
$14.7 million.
- The judge with the highest number of Commercial Division cases
in Westchester County Supreme Court was Judge Gretchen M Walsh
(currently at 433 cases).
- The number of cases filed in 2023 in Oklahoma County District Court was
18,999.
- The median time to trial (currently at 242 cases) in Suffolk
County Supreme Court was 1,467 days.
As the only Legal Analytics platform that combines an exclusive
artificial intelligence with attorney review to analyze state court
documents, Lex Machina is providing a unique solution to a
significant technical challenge. In the absence of a unified system
for state courts, Lex Machina does the difficult work of
understanding the individual docketing practice of each state court
system, and creates accurate analytics that reflect the unique
aspects of the individual courts. This exclusive process allows Lex
Machina to provide comprehensive data-driven insights about judges,
law firms, individual attorneys, and parties in state courts. Lex
Machina ensures the state court data and analytics are up to date
by maintaining technology that continuously captures and enhances
raw data from the state courts.
State court expansion remains a top priority at Lex Machina. We
are adding modules on a court-by-court basis, with an emphasis on
strict data quality and integrity. That includes downloading
millions of state court documents to ensure that practitioners have
access to the most complete, comprehensive, and accurate analytics
available.
These state courts join the other state court modules already
available on Lex Machina, comprising a current total of 100
enhanced state courts, along with over 1,200 additional state
courts provided via our Litigation Footprint feature. The addition
of the New York and Oklahoma court modules adds over 380,000 civil
court cases filed since January 2016
to Lex Machina's state court database, bringing our total number of
state court cases to over 5.5 million. We are proud of this key
achievement in our state court journey.
