Quickly identify similarities and differences in opposing filings, across multiple documents,
while assessing the argument strength on both sides of a litigation matter

 Unique dashboard, patented concept mapping technology, shared citations view, and more case recommendations accelerates and improves the document comparison process

 

NEW YORK, October 25, 2021 – LexisNexis^® Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of information and analytics, today announced a new enhancement to the Lexis+^® ecosystem – Judicial Brief Analysis – that will greatly accelerate and improve the document comparison process and quickly deliver the insights legal professionals need to draft stronger arguments and briefs.

Mirroring the process that judges and court clerks use when analyzing opposing briefs, Lexis+ Judicial Brief Analysis allows lawyers to compare up to six documents (three for each side) and receive one comprehensive report of all case law arguments, citations, and quotes to determine accuracy, relevance and argument strength. Its bold, intuitive design includes a unique dashboard visualization of extracted concepts, Shepard’s^® Citations analysis, quote accuracy, and other information that saves a user hours of review time. A new “shared” feature compares how opposing sides used similar arguments or citations in their documents, whether the arguments are “good law,” and whether any modifications were made to the original quotations. The AI-powered tool also recommends relevant case law and other content to help attorneys draft the strongest briefs possible.

“For busy legal professionals who spend significant time doing research to write briefs, Judicial Brief Analysis instantly delivers critical insights and recommendations that can strengthen their position – or weaken their opponent’s,” said Jeff Pfeifer, Chief Product Officer, LexisNexis North America. “Judicial Brief Analysis enables legal professionals to practice with unprecedented efficiency and confidence. Our use of advanced language parsing technologies ensures a thorough review of all plaintiff and defense arguments.”

Developed from attorney and court clerk feedback, Judicial Brief Analysis has tools and features that practitioners won’t get from competitive offerings, including:

• Unique dashboard view of relevant information, insights, and analytics helps visualize key elements to explore within the documents
• Patented concept mapping technology extracts legal- and fact-based concepts from a brief that were used to map to other relevant documents
• More overall briefs, pleadings, motions, and other court documents mean Lexis+ delivers more recommendations per brief to ensure practitioners are not missing critical cases
• Secondary content recommendations, including Practical Guidance, treatises, and more
• Side-by-side comparisons showcases similarities and differences across multiple documents in a single, unified view – without switching back and forth between separate windows

October 20, 2021 — NEW YORK CITY, NY — LexisNexis Legal & Professional, a leading provider of content and technology solutions, was shortlisted for six awards by the International Association of Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC). Now in its 19th year, the global awards program recognizes and celebrates the importance of research, measurement, insights, and analytics.

The company was recognized for its contributions to a wide range of measurement programs, including evaluating a travel and tourism company’s media coverage as the COVID-19 pandemic spread; using measurement to identify high-ROI PR tactics amidst budget challenges; and validating the impact one communications team had on its media performance.

These efforts were led by the company’s Nexis® Media Intelligence and Research & Analytics service. The service combines media metrics and human analysis to understand how traditional and social media performance contributes to an organization’s goals and objectives.

LexisNexis was shortlisted in all six of the categories it was nominated for, including:

Ajax Systems, one of the biggest manufacturers of professional security systems with smart home capabilities, today announced that it has crossed a milestone of 1 million users in 120 countries globally. Recognized as the most award-winning wireless security system in Europe, Ajax smart alarm ensures protection of different types of premises from intrusion, fire and flood, as well as delivers home automation features.

Ajax’s success has been primarily driven by its innovations, namely proprietary technologies like Jeweller, Wings and OS Malevich, along with a great focus on user experience for both professionals and end-users. 

“Rethinking burglar alarms in 2015, we took the quality user experience as a basis,” said Valentine Hrytsenko, CMO at Ajax Systems. “We designed convenient mobile apps for remote setup and control, elaborated installation to make it hassle-free and developed a proprietary wireless connection to ensure reliability. And today, such an approach allows us to gain loyalty in a geometric progression. A year ago, the number of Ajax users was at 500 000, and today it is 1,000,000.” 

The current Ajax product line consists of 36 devices for indoor and outdoor security, including motion, fire, and leak detectors, as well as control panels (hubs), sirens, range extenders, keypads, panic buttons, and devices for home automation. 

Thanks to the system’s flexibility and opportunity to provide comprehensive security regardless of the premise size or location, Ajax alarm is widely implemented for protection not only of private and commercial property but also government and public facilities. Some most notable projects with an Ajax alarm installed include Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica, the Deutsches Museum in Munich, and wooden architecture in the Berger downtown, Norway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Employing over 1,800 people, Ajax Systems has recently opened its second plant in Ukraine in order to increase production output. The manufacturer is actively preparing for its next big geographical expansion: with FCC and IC certificates received, Ajax will now be present wherever the 915 MHz frequency band is used. It means the system will shortly enter such markets as the US, Canada, Australia, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
