Ravel Law

Ravel Law is a legal research, analytics, and visualization platform that empowers lawyers to contextualize and interpret vast amounts of legal information, transforming data into actionable insights. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Ravel Law was acquired by LexisNexis in June 2017. The platform offers data-driven, interactive visualizations and analytics tools that enhance legal research efficiency. Its Judge Analytics product provides insights into individual federal court judges' decision-making patterns, enabling attorneys to make informed strategic decisions. Additionally, the Court Analytics feature delivers comprehensive views into the case law and decisions of state and federal courts, assisting litigators in developing data-driven strategies. Ravel Law's technology integrates machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing to mine published case opinions, helping litigators quickly uncover new insights and build specific arguments for use in court. The platform's integration with the Harvard Law Library's case law content enriches its expansive case law collection, providing users with access to a vast repository of legal information. Ravel Law's innovative approach to legal research has been recognized with awards such as the best new product of the year in 2016 by the American Association of Law Librarians (AALL) and two Innovator Awards from The Recorder in 2014 and 2016.
