The Leaderboard: Tracking A Firm's Litigation Footprint

Here is a peek at the footprints that the 100 firms that topped the Law360 Pulse Leaderboard have left in federal district courts around the country over the past three years, using litigation data from Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company.

Some firms on the Leaderboard have appeared in nearly all of the more than 90 federal district courts, while others have a lucrative practice footprint that takes them to a more select range of districts, depending on their particular practice strengths.
