“The importance of the Delaware Court of Chancery cannot be overstated, as decisions made in this one court can influence the judicial behaviors and decisions on corporate and civil matters across the entire country,” said Karl Harris, president of Lex Machina. “Senior litigators at major corporations and top national law firms need to understand the nuances of practicing law in this court to offer the best possible legal counsel and support to clients incorporated there. Lex Machina’s Legal Analytics for the Delaware Court of Chancery provides attorneys with data-driven insights to help them create successful litigation strategies in this highly influential jurisdiction.”

The  Delaware Court of Chancery uses a proprietary electronic filing system that includes information, such as case title, civil action number, judicial officer, parties, counsel and documents.

Lex Machina’s Attorney Data Engine and expert legal editors enhance this basic data in a variety of ways.

As part of the product development process, Lex Machina interviewed senior litigators from top law firms and major corporations with expertise in the Delaware Court of Chancery in order to better understand its particular analytics use cases.

 The product team incorporated the experts’ feedback directly into the new offering, adding new features and unique tags such as Field of Law, and Nature of Claim, as well as tags such as case resolutions, damages, and rulings, which are similar to federal modules.
