The legal industry is abuzz with a slew of new products, services and innovations. These include a new insurance litigation report, the Lexis+(r) CourtLink suite and the Lexis+(r) Brief. Among the most notable changes, LexisNexis has made a splash with the legal community by acquiring IPlytics, a startup that is currently gaining a foothold in the market for protecting intellectual property. Lastly, the company has made some noteworthy tinkering upgrades to its flagship product, Lexis(r), a multi-state search and retrieval tool. This includes the addition of a handful of state specific Gannett Media Corp news publications.
As you might expect from a company that has been in the business of providing information to the masses for more than a century, Lexis(r) has made an impressive display of itself as it continues to roll out new products. For example, there is the aforementioned Lexis+(r) CourtLink, a multi-state search and retrieval product, which is a boon to attorneys who are trying to keep on top of their workload. In the meantime, Lexis+(r) has launched the new Lexis+(r) Legal News Hub, which is a nod to the company’s ongoing commitment to keeping its users up to date on current events in the legal profession. There are also the latest innovations in Lexis+(r)’s arsenal of data mining tools, such as the recently announced tamper proof Lexis+(r) State Motion Metrics, which will enable lawyers and paralegals to easily find relevant court rulings and case citations on the fly. Additionally, the company is introducing a new feature to its flagship product, Lexis(r), which will allow users to search and retrieve dockets and complaints. With the advent of these enhancements, law firms such as Ballard Spahr are saving a reported $350K a year.
