Clio acquires Learned Hand in judiciary expansion

On September 30, Clio announced that it had acquired Learned Hand, an AI company building technology specifically for judges and courts, according to Clio newsroom (PR Newswire). Artificial Lawyer also reported that Clio had bought the company, which focuses on supporting judges and courts.

Reuters Legal reported that Clio said Learned Hand makes a tool for judges and that courts need to incorporate AI to keep up with lawyers’ use of the technology. The company’s announcement described Learned Hand as building technology specifically for judges and courts.

LawSites reported that the acquisition gave Clio’s newly launched judiciary business an existing product already in use in a number of courthouses. LawSites also reported that Clio did not disclose the terms of the deal.

Legaltech News reported that the purchase followed Clio’s appointments of Casetext co-founder Pablo Arredondo as senior vice president and former Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice and American Arbitration Association CEO Bridget Mary McCormack as general manager.
