Why This is Important

While Federal Analytics focuses on outcomes (winning/losing), Easy Analytics focuses on relationships and volume. It is the perfect tool for:

  • Business Development: See which law firms a potential client is using.

  • Judge Profiling: Quickly understand a judge's caseload mix (e.g., "Is this judge experienced in Patent law?").

  • Client Research: See a company's litigation history before a pitch meeting.

Understanding the Report

The dashboard will populate with visual charts answering key questions:

  • Top Clients (for Firms): Who are they representing most often?

  • Top Firms (for Parties): Which law firms does this company hire?

  • Case Composition: A breakdown of cases by type (e.g., 40% Contract, 20% IP, 10% Labor).

  • Jurisdiction Heatmap: Where are these cases being filed?

Interactive Drill-Down

Every chart in Easy Analytics is clickable.

  • Click on a slice of the "Case Type" pie chart (e.g., "Trademark").

  • The system will instantly generate a list of those specific cases.

  • This allows you to go from a broad trend ("They do a lot of Trademark work") to specific evidence ("Here are the 50 trademark complaints they filed last year").
