At the “Use Cases and Applications of AI in Legal Services” session at Legalweek New York's AI Bootcamp, legal technology company ROSS Intelligence revealed a new piece of artificial intelligence technology as a companion to its pre-existing intelligence tool: a case analysis tool named EVA.

The goal of EVA is to make case research, citations and studies as easy as possible. It is available now on ROSS Intelligence's website, and the company is releasing it for free—or at least, just for signing up to the company's website.

Among the tool's features is a drag-and-drop tool that allows for upload of a brief in seconds.  Using artificial intelligence technology, EVA then sorts through citations within the brief and isolates negatively treated cases. It can also find cases that have similar language, or users can ask a question in natural language and receive a response with citations.

On the back end, EVA can generate Bluebook citations, as well as case studies that are themselves searchable. It also has the ability to create what ROSS calls “context-specific fact summaries,” or parsing down a case into an easily digestible block of text.

ROSS co-founder Andrew Arruda called the technology a “game changer” to a crowd at Legalweek New York.

The release of EVA comes just months after ROSS announced an $8.7 million Series A funding round led by iNovia Capital. From its inception, ROSS has fast become a staple in the legal world. In 2016, Baker & Hostetler became the first Big Law firm to bring the technology in-house, specifically for use for bankruptcy matters.

In November 2017, ROSS also announced a partnership with Northwestern University's Pritzker School of Law, to allow students to use the technology and understand its effect on the practice of law.

With the launch EVA, ROSS follows fellow legal technology company Casetext into the case analysis market. In 2017, Casetext's CARA (Case Analysis Research Assistant) platform launched an AI-powered Brief Finder which, similar to EVA, features drag-and-box upload functionality and the ability to easily generate relevant citations and briefs.

Casetext closed a $12 million Series B funding round in March 2017, led by Canvas Ventures.
