UpLaw review
Broad legal research and analytics with advanced insights in the Professional plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
UpLaw is a web-based legal research and analytics platform for lawyers and legal professionals. It combines citation-resolved research across federal and state sources with tools for analyzing judges, courts, attorneys, firms, dockets, and case outcomes. Its scope includes federal and state primary law, live federal district, bankruptcy, and appellate docket filings, circuit-split research, and 50-state legal surveys. Firms seeking broad multi-jurisdiction coverage can use it for research, case assessment, and litigation planning.
The plan structure separates foundational research from advanced analytics. Economy includes unlimited searches and document views, federal and state primary law, citation resolver and CiteCheck, case summaries, and document analytics. Business adds the Practical-law library, standard documents and drafting templates, secondary sources, and CLE-style presentations. Professional adds ALFIE AI legal assistant, Ask UpLaw grounded research, an AI document generator, and judge and court analytics. The published plans also identify AI-assisted research and drafting as part of the product’s broader feature set.
UpLaw’s main distinction is the breadth of its analytics: Professional includes judge motion grant-rate and time-to-ruling data, court caseload and disposition-time analysis, attorney and firm docket analytics, and case-outlook survival curves and outcome forecasts. The platform bases its analytics on federal court docket feeds, RECAP, and the Federal Judicial Center’s Integrated Database. Firms that need a wide mix of legal research and litigation analytics should consider UpLaw, especially when a free entry plan fits their evaluation process. Firms needing a native desktop application or advanced analytics without the Professional tier should consider alternatives.
