Litigation analytics once meant counting motions. Today's tools model how specific judges rule on specific motion types and how long they take to decide.

Clients increasingly expect these insights in early case assessments. Insurers and litigation funders already rely on them.

The risks are real: overconfidence in statistical patterns, and data gaps in state courts. Analytics inform judgment; they do not replace it.

Used well, they make conversations about risk with clients more honest and more grounded.
