Compose by Casetext was trained in employment law via machine learning technology paired with attorney expertise
SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Casetext today announces the first Compose employment law collection: Wage and Hour. This is an expansion of Casetext’s Compose brief-writing technology that represents the first time Compose has specialized in a particular area of law.
“The volume of work and the clients’ expectations for efficiency make employment law the perfect fit for Compose,” says Casetext CEO Jake Heller. “For a long time, people have assumed that researching and laying out the legal argument requires many hours of up-front work, and firms have had to write off time and reduce rates in order to meet clients’ expectations for efficiency. This technology, proven to reduce researching and writing time by 76%, will enable law firms to both exceed clients’ expectations and improve their own bottom line.”
The Compose Wage and Hour Collection covers 16 of the most commonly-filed Wage and Hour motions. The collection includes the following motions, all tailored specifically to substantive legal issues arising in wage and hour litigation, in federal court as well as California and New York state courts:
The release also includes a preview of a forthcoming Employment Discrimination collection: a motion to dismiss and motion for summary judgment of claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
The Compose Employment Collection will immediately be available to Compose clients, which include Ogletree Deakins, the first employment law firm to leverage the technology.
“We quickly saw the value and potential Compose could offer our clients in terms of delivering efficiency and quality work product,” said Flyn Flesher, Senior Manager of KM Counsel at Ogletree Deakins. “Ogletree Deakins has pledged to embrace technology and innovation to better serve our clients, and Compose is a natural demonstration of the commitment.”
Compose delivers a 4x increase in efficiency in drafting these motions by automating much of the rote work and research time involved in preparing a legal argument. For each of these motions, Compose provides the available arguments and applicable legal standards, which can be added to a draft with a click. The attorney can then use built-in Parallel Search technology to instantly add precedent tailored to the facts of the case.
To assemble the arguments and legal standards required for a comprehensive employment collection, Casetext paired a robust editorial process, involving close consultation with leading experts in the field, with cutting-edge machine learning technology. Armed with the technology behind Compose, Casetext was able to produce a collection that includes 1,102 arguments (approximately 12x more per motion than the average template), 5,354 legal standards, and citations to over 25,000 cases (approximately 13x more citations per issue than the leading treatise treatment coverage).
