Common questions

Can I quote a Litigation Edge figure in advice to a client?

Quote it with its court, cohort, denominator and observation date. Read the closest decisions and treat the figure as context for your own judgement, not a prediction.

Why is a rate held back?

A live rate needs ten classified successes and ten failures, with at least 90% classification inside the admitted mapped cohort. Below that, use the decisions rather than a percentage.

What counts as won, partly won and lost?

The example maps the recorded principal issue to successful, mixed or unsuccessful. Unclassified decisions are outside the success denominator. Mixed outcomes stay inside it.

What happens when a decision is appealed?

The example figures do not measure later treatment. Check the official judgment, appeals and subsequent treatment independently.

How can I export my research?

Preview a draft from saved passages and notes. Copy, share, print, or download TXT and JSON. Review the source and citations before using the draft.

Can I include confidential client information?

Keep confidential client information out of searches and notes. Use public legal terms and decisions for the research workspace and any demo request.

Plain-English glossary

Cohort: The selected group of decisions behind a figure: the same court, matter descriptor and year range.
Decided: For a success rate, the classified judgments on the principal issue. Mixed results are included; unclassified results are not.
Median: The middle value: half the observations are higher, half lower.
Typical range: The middle half of observed values, from the lower to the upper quartile.
Time to judgment: From filing to judgment, when both dates are measured. Not measured in this example cohort.
Release: A dated snapshot. Always keep the observation date and scope with a figure.
