Last week Gavelytics announced the the expansion (I would call it a makeover) of their state litigation analytics 
platform. Not only is the look and feel completely refreshed, but they have added new content and enhanced search and filtering features. Gavelytics 2.0 expands state court litigation analytics and data on judges, law firms, lawyers, and litigants as well as a massive searchable database of litigation documents and briefs. Currently covering 10 U.S. states, Gavelytics coverage will expand to 20 states by December 2020.
The graphics have been enhanced for lawyers, judges, law firms and litigants. One of the best new features is the expandable list of law firm names to enable researchers to include variant law firm names in order to capture all the relevant analytics.
Gavelytics has played an important role in the competitive market to build out state court analytics coverage.Law firms have embraced analytics to demonstrate the firms litigation experience for pitches and for developing litigation strategies.
The press release describes how Gavelytics “analyzes tens of millions of litigation documents and applies machine learning to provide actionable insights on the behaviors and tendencies of judges, lawyers, law firms and litigants. It scours underlying litigation documents and displays information in user-friendly, highly-intelligible charts, so users aren’t forced to run complicated word-based queries that too frequently return useless information, as is often the case with other products.”
