Today, legal analytics tools help attorneys identify patterns in court records, analyze judicial tendencies, and make more informed decisions—ultimately improving case outcomes.
In a recent discussion, Nicole Clark, the CEO of Trellis, explained how these tools are changing how trial lawyers prepare and compete.
