## The benefits of legal research software

-   **Easy billing:** The software keeps a record of time spent on each task in each case, which helps in accurately billing clients. Once the time has been recorded, the software will provide a consolidated report of all time spent and then calculate the bill amount as per set hourly rates. 
-   **Quick and detailed legislative knowledge:** It provides all the necessary information to understand privacy obligations across multiple jurisdictions. Countries take a differing stand on world events and determining concepts like public morality can be found primarily by their legislative history and by historical events over the years. 
-   **Electronic case organization:** Legal research software allows paralegals and other legal professionals to manage their documents electronically. They can use the solution to search, edit, track, archive, and distribute documents.
    

## Typical features of legal research software

-   **Data aggregation:** Summarize and assemble data collected from multiple sources.
    
-   **Case law research:** Search libraries and court databases containing opinions and legal decisions related to adjudicated cases and precedents.
    
-   **Statutes research:** Discover, analyze, and compare current and/or historic legislation and regulations for specific jurisdictions.
    
-   **Filtering:** Segment the data by performing a search based on specific criteria.
    
-   **Data visualization:** Produce graphs and charts to represent data.
    

## The cost of legal research software

Most products are priced on a “per user, per month” basis. They can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $14 - $39
    
-   $39 - $65
    
-   $65+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering that was found on vendor websites on December 18, 2019. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentile of the pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise product which is priced higher may include some additional features such as custom judgment tags, annotations, infographics, research assistance, and search automation.

## Considerations when purchasing legal research software

-   **Internationalization:** The solution should be able to handle at least eight different languages, 50 currencies, and 10 tax jurisdictions with support for value-added tax (VAT) compliance.
    
-   **Know your requirements:** Ensure the vendor is able to support your specific needs. You can accomplish this by first listing your requirements and then comparing to the features the solution offers. 
-   **Custom search options:** Prioritize a solution that provides you with the option to customize your research. One such customizable option can be to research on the basis of different match methods, such as factual match (matching done by highlighting unique facts across similar cases), deep match (for higher accuracy), or motion match (matching on the basis of similar case procedures).
