When arguing before a judicial body, lawyers must support their legal arguments by citing prior court decisions that adopted similar reasoning or reached a similar conclusion. Finding such prior decisions is often a tedious and time-consuming process that requires many hours of reading through judicial opinions to determine if they are actually relevant, and then drawing parallels to those few decisions that are most relevant. Many attorneys employ paralegals and junior associates to conduct legal research on a full-time basis, so any system that makes it quicker and easier for attorneys to locate relevant cases and statutes can save enormous amounts of time and money.
