HUGE news: we're so proud to announce that @Clearbriefai now integrates with @LexisNexis! This is a partnership we have dreamed about since I founded the company in 2020.
You might know that the Clearbrief platform in Word automatically analyzes your document to detect citations and display the source in the righthand side of Word. Clearbrief does this for both factual and legal sources, and now LexisNexis legal research subscribers can link their subscription to view any legal source right from Lexis - while drafting in Clearbrief.
Clearbrief is used to find factual evidence to support any idea you need to bolster in your writing, as well as:
- create instant hyperlinked timelines
- turn those timelines into Verified (hyperlinked) demand letters and statements of fact
-instantly create a Table of Authorities, exhibits for filing, and hyperlinked pleadings for secure filing with the court and clients.
And critically: Clearbrief also gives you an AI score that flags where your writing may not be supported by the case or statute you cited, and highlights bad citations to fake cases.
We believe that checking over the cited law and evidence has to be simple and quick, or attorneys may not do it thoroughly. Our platform in Word helps ensure your firm will never file a pleading with a made-up case.
With this integration, Lexis subscribers can now seamlessly click on the displayed case from within Clearbrief. If they want to dig deeper into the legal research, they can click to continue their legal research journey inside the Lexis platform.
Can't wait to share the good news with our amazing legaltech community at @legalweek - come say hi to me at the Clearbrief booth!

The last two years left us locked down and burned out.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We were meant to explore the world –– but the infrastructure around us was built for a reality that’s never back.

Forget politics.
Here's why placing a premium on hiring and promoting diverse candidates is good for your business.
🧵

3⃣
Younger generations are more diverse and value diversity more highly than older generations. Having a diverse workforce and leadership makes your company more desirable for younger customers.
A non-diverse team with non-diverse leaders will struggle to identify, recruit, hire, and retain talented people from diverse backgrounds.
A diverse team with diverse leaders doesn't have that weakness.
If two candidates had roughly equal performance despite having different levels of opportunity...
the candidate with historically less opportunity will probably be the better performer given an equal environment.
Let's say you're hiring an entry-level engineer and you have to choose between a white candidate and a black candidate with roughly equal past performance.
On average, the black candidate will have been raised in a family with less income and therefore less opportunity.
Here are three ways companies benefit from increasing hiring/promotion of underrepresented people:
1⃣
On average, for every unit of measured past performance, a black, Latino, or Indigenous candidate will overperform in the future relative to a white or Asian candidate.
There's a belief out there that attempts to promote diversity in hiring must be rooted in political ideology.
In fact, there's a strong case that it's in the pure business interest of companies to increase hiring and promotion of black, Latino, and Indigenous candidates. 💸💸💸
You're an early-stage founder.
You're pitching an investor.
What's the most important thing the investor is evaluating?
You.
