What is Lexis+ AI?
Lexis+ AI is the artificial intelligence layer built on top of LexisNexis, the legal research platform used by law firms and in-house teams worldwide. Unlike general AI tools that generate legal answers from training data, Lexis+ AI retrieves answers directly from LexisNexis's extensive database of case law, statutes, regulations and secondary sources — and cites every source.
This citation-first approach directly addresses the "hallucination" problem that makes lawyers reluctant to trust AI research output.
Who is Lexis+ AI best for?
- Law firm associates doing legal research and brief drafting - In-house counsel researching regulatory requirements - Litigation teams analyzing case law and preparing arguments - Organizations already subscribed to LexisNexis
Key Features
#
Cited AI Research Every answer Lexis+ AI generates is backed by citations to real, retrievable documents in the LexisNexis database. Lawyers can click through to verify every source immediately.
#
Conversational Research Rather than running boolean searches, lawyers can ask questions in natural language: "What is the standard for summary judgment in patent infringement cases in the Second Circuit?" and receive structured answers with cases.
#
Document Summarization Upload a brief, contract or regulatory filing and Lexis+ AI will summarize the key points, identify issues and suggest relevant research.
#
Drafting Assistance Lexis+ AI can assist with drafting arguments, briefs and memos, grounded in the research it retrieves from the database.
Pricing
Lexis+ AI is priced as part of a LexisNexis enterprise subscription. Pricing varies based on firm size and modules. A sales consultation is required for a quote.
Verdict
For lawyers who already live in LexisNexis, Lexis+ AI is the obvious AI upgrade. The citation-backed answers are the most trustworthy AI legal research output available, addressing the professional responsibility concern that holds many lawyers back from adopting AI research tools.
Our Verdict
Lexis+ AI is the best AI legal research tool for firms and in-house teams that already use LexisNexis. The combination of AI generation with cited, authoritative sources addresses the biggest concern lawyers have about AI.
