Predicting Probabilities and Key Drivers of Legal Outcomes

Case outcome prediction estimates win/loss probabilities, settlement likelihoods, and timelines using historical case data. Models must be explainable, bias-tested, and used as advisory tools—not determinative decisions.

Provide better strategic insight, budgeting, and client communication while ensuring fairness and compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between predicted case outcomes and actual results?

Prediction vs actual gap.

How does model performance change over time – what is 'model drift'?

Model drift over time.

If a case has low predicted success odds, why might it still lead to an early settlement?

Low success odds led to early settlement, saving cost.

How can judge analysis influence the selection of a faster venue for a case?

Judge analysis shifted filing to faster venue.
