The Legal Innovation Clearinghouse is the only national database tracking new legal service entities offered in states which have approved major reforms to the regulation of legal services. The Clearinghouse operates as a searchable database and repository of original source documents, as well as providing analytical insights to further our understanding of what innovation might be driven through legal regulatory reform.
The goal of the Clearinghouse is to provide all stakeholders, including members of the judiciary, the bar, the public, the media, and the academy, one place in which to access insights into innovative legal services. Users can quickly view clear visually-driven analytics, as well as search and sort entity data and access the original source materials. Data will be updated regularly.
