Welcome to the future of legal intelligence“, that’s the eye-catcher of Trellis’ website. So, welcome to another episode of Legal IT Professionals’ podcast series! Rob Ameerun talked with Trellis founder and CEO Nicole Clark. Trellis is a comprehensive legal research platform built by litigators, for litigators. Frustrated by sending internal emails and collecting anecdotes on judges in order to make strategic case recommendations, Nicole built Trellis to solve her own need for access to data, information, and analytics at the state court level.
Guess what?
Many more people – and not only lawyers – discovered that the service Trellis is offering is indispensable in understanding how judges rule on similar motions.
