There are three ways to forecast events–experts, crowds, and algorithms. The LexPredict team has united all three approaches to offer an accurate method of generating Supreme Court predictions.
Experts
LexPredict has gathered a group of Supreme Court experts, including lawyers who routinely practice before the High Court, law professors, and Supreme Court clinics, to offer their insights into the most important cases of the day. These experts bring their knowledge and insights into how the Justices decide cases.
Crowds
LexPredict has leveraged the 20,000+ players on FantasySCOTUS, who have made predictions about all of the cases decided by the United States Supreme Court since 2009. By learning from the Wisdom of the Crowds, FantasySCOTUS can gain insight into how a large range of people view a large range of legal issues, and generate predictions.
Algorithm
LexPredict has developed a revolutionary algorithm that can accurately predict Supreme Court cases. We call it {MARSHALL}+, after Chief Justice John Marshall. {Marshall}+ was able to predict every case decided since 1953 at 70% accuracy. With {MARSHALL}+, FantasySCOTUS and our panel of power predictors, we offer three perspectives on the Supreme Court’s behavior.
