Bench IQ

Bench IQ is a legal analytics platform that shows attorneys how a judge actually decides. Published opinions represent about 3 percent of all rulings; Bench IQ analyzes the unpublished decisions, orders and rulings that make up the rest and extracts the reasoning behind them, so a litigator can see how a particular judge has treated a motion or an argument before filing. It is built for litigators at large US law firms. Capabilities center on uncovering the reasons behind a judge's rulings, revealing patterns in judicial thinking across a body of decisions, and identifying which arguments are most likely to succeed before a specific judge, drawing on decisions that never appeared in a published reporter. The founders include the creators of ROSS Intelligence, an early legal AI company, and a former partner at a major US law firm, and the company is backed by venture capital investors and by several law firms. Pricing is not published. Firms request a demonstration and receive terms directly from the company.
