Upgraded features, functionalities and deeper Lexis Advance integration saves time, delivers increased productivity and makes navigation and managing dockets easier.

CourtLink’s unmatched docket coverage and market-leading functionality are now available via the Lexis Advance platform and mobile app, making it an even smarter litigation intelligence choice.

LexisNexis CourtLink is the online authority for searching, profiling, tracking, alerting and retrieving U.S. federal and state court dockets and documents.

CourtLink’s integration with Lexis Advance delivers faster, easier search, alert and docket tracking capabilities, improved workflow tools, and an enhanced, familiar user interface that saves time and increases productivity.

“When it comes to developing case strategies, protecting client’s interests or winning new business, today’s data-driven lawyers rely on CourtLink to help them know and act first on new or ongoing litigation and give them a competitive advantage,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, Managing Director, NARS at LexisNexis Legal & Professional. “CourtLink’s integration into the Lexis Advance ecosystem represents a tremendous leap forward in our vision to unify our core products on a single platform and demonstrates our commitment to delivering better solutions and experiences for our customers.”
