The Law Library is proud to announce that the Lex Machina is now available to prepare students for practice. Lex Machina is a flagship litigation analytic platform that helps attorneys to find past behavior of parties, counsel, experts, judges, and courts to improve litigation and business outcomes.

Access Lex Machina

TTU Law users can log into Lex Machina with your Lexis+ credential.

Unique Outcome Analytics

Lex Machina uses AI-assisted attorney review to provide damages, findings, resolutions, and remedies for millions of civil cases in US federal and state courts. The case-outcome analytics tell you who won, how much, by what procedural means, under what conclusions of law, how long it took, & whether the decision withstood appeal for each dispute.

Dynamic Data

Case data are updated automatically overnight to reflect the latest developments. This ensures that you can see if a particular resolution or damage award has withstood appeal, for example.

Structured Entities

Lex Machina extracts raw counsel data from dockets & court filings, then structures it to generate detailed analytics on law firms and individual attorneys. It refers to corporate hierarchy information to suggest related entities like parents, subsidiaries, franchises, and other affiliates within your party search results.

Instant Comparisons

The unique Quick Tools make it easy to instantly compare judges, parties, or law firms, create winning motions, explore patent portfolios or expert witnesses, and more.

Transparent Sources & Methods

Lex Machina allows you to show the work and drill down from high-level trends to the underlying dockets and documents. Lex Machina provides you with clear definitions of our case types, tags, findings, damages, and more, so you are never left guessing.

If you have any questions, please contact the Electronic & Digital Services Librarian, Dajiang Nie, at Dajiang.nie@ttu.edu.
