Doge Free Zone… US Federal Judiciary selects LexisNexis, including Lexis+AI, in seven-year contract

Reported via Legal Technolgy (UK)

LexisNexis Legal & Professional has in the past day reshared on social media the news that the Federal Judiciary has awarded LexisNexis with a seven-year contract to provide US Federal Judiciary judges, support staff, and other employees with enterprise-wide, access to Lexis’ primary legal; secondary legal; news, business and journals; people and public records content; and analytics information and insights. The contract also gives the Federal Judiciary access to GenAI tool Lexis+ AI.

This contract was in fact awarded last year but for no good reason largely went under the radar. Legal IT Insider did, however, cover a similar, more recent judiciary win announcement by Thomson Reuters. This is therefore an important ICYMI: the judiciary now has access to both of these competing GenAI systems.

As we pointed out when writing about the Thomson Reuters’ win, while the terms of these types of deals are not disclosed, and it’s difficult to say what commercial arrangement was reached, what they have traditionally done is put pressure on lawyers coming before the Courts to have access to the same software. They can, rightly or wrongly, be a catalyst for adoption, so these milestones are important to take note of. So far we obviously have no stats or insights around judicial adoption.
