Pre/Dicta Adds New Tools for Judicial Forecasting

Pre/Dicta, the widely recognised leader in predictive judicial intelligence and litigation outcome forecasting, has announced a major platform expansion featuring a suite of new capabilities and a redesigned user interface. The new features provide a deeper grasp of how judges shape outcomes and expand users’ ability to apply that insight at critical stages of litigation, from venue selection to appellate strategy.

Pre/Dicta’s new capabilities are designed to bring statistically rigorous, empirically grounded insight to areas of litigation that have long been shaped by instinct and experience alone. The updates include appellate forecasting, comparative predictions across judges, venues, and law firms, and new tools to isolate how specific judicial characteristics influence motion outcomes. The release reflects a growing recognition that judicial tendencies can be quantified, interpreted, and strategically leveraged, enabling attorneys to exert more control over the direction, duration, and ultimate resolution of a case.

“This release marks a major leap forward, not just for Pre/Dicta, but for the practice of judicial intelligence,” said Dan Rabinowitz, CEO of Pre/Dicta. “We’re expanding into the areas where our technology delivers the greatest accuracy and value, offering the most effective way to understand judicial influence over case outcomes.”

The new features include:

• Appellate Forecasting – Users can assess both the likelihood of appeal and the probability of reversal in federal cases, offering early insight into the potential for post-trial proceedings and their likely outcomes. This new capability completes Pre/Dicta’s ability to provide forecasting and strategic insight across the entire litigation lifecycle.
• New Motion Coverage – Pre/Dicta’s platform now includes forecasts for temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, motions for judgment on the pleadings, Daubert challenges, and motions to remand, substantially broadening its coverage across the litigation lifecycle. This expanded coverage equips attorneys with a comprehensive view of procedural risk and strategic opportunity, delivering asymmetric insight into how each phase of a case is likely to unfold.
• Enhanced Biographical Intelligence – Enables users to investigate how specific judicial traits, such as political affiliation or appointment history, influence decision-making in cases similar to their own. By isolating these characteristics, attorneys can uncover patterns of bias and behavioural tendencies, elevating their strategic foresight and deepening their understanding of judicial influence.
• Comparative Predictions – Designed for high-stakes decision-making, this feature allows users to compare predicted success rates across judges, venues, and law firms based on each case’s unique profile. Attorneys can anticipate how a matter will perform before specific judges, identify optimal venues or transfer opportunities, and assess law firm performance to strengthen RFPs and counsel selection. These insights give legal teams a decisive edge by revealing where and with whom a case is most likely to succeed.
• Judicial Biographies and Benchmarking – Delivers a detailed view of a judge’s background, paired with quantitative benchmarks against peer groups within their district, circuit, and across the federal judiciary. Attorneys can see how a judge aligns – or stands apart – from cohorts in their adjudication of key motions.
• Precedent Intelligence Cases - This unique capability surfaces past matters that form the foundation of Pre/Dicta’s predictions and forecasts. Each case shares a closely matched composition and statistically validated correlation to the matter at hand, providing a new way to uncover relevant precedent grounded in predictive modelling. These cases often fall outside the scope of traditional research tools, making them both novel and strategically actionable.

Pre/Dicta is widely recognised for its industry-leading accuracy, including an 85% success rate in forecasting motion to dismiss outcomes. Its proprietary machine learning models rely on behavioural analytics and statistical rigour, setting it apart from traditional legal analytics tools based on keyword filters or basic win/loss rates.

“Legal decisions should be guided by more than instinct,” Rabinowitz added. “We’re bringing the same level of analytical clarity used in finance, healthcare, and other high-risk industries to the practice of law.”
