Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an app that helps users find lawyers. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, people inevitably encounter various conflicts and often need to find a good lawyer to help them resolve their issues. However, there isn't a reliable way to find the best lawyers in the market. Currently, people often rely on Baidu searches, e-commerce platforms, or downloading and using specialized lawyer apps from app stores. But these methods rarely provide a reliable way for users to find the best lawyers. Users often have to make initial judgments based on transaction reviews on these platforms. With the prevalence of fake reviews, the authenticity of these reviews is difficult to verify, leaving users confused and uncertain. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new and reliable method and app to help users find the best and most reliable lawyers, understand their true capabilities, and thus make informed choices. The app can be a mobile app, a website, or a computer program. The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: This app provides a way to find lawyers. It possesses the basic elements of an app, and its defining characteristic is that on the page displaying the list of lawyers, at least one of the sorting criteria is based on the lawyer's win rate or loss rate. If the page does not display other sorting options and defaults to sorting by win rate or loss rate, this also falls into this category.

[0004] This provides an app for finding lawyers. It has the basic elements of an app, and its characteristic is that on the page displaying the list of lawyers, at least one of the sorting criteria is based on the number of litigation cases handled by the lawyer.

[0005] Optionally, at least one of the above ranking criteria is based on the number of years of practice.

[0006] Preferably, at least one of the above ranking criteria is a comprehensive scoring criterion, which includes a comprehensive weighted average of at least two of the following: success rate, number of litigation cases handled, years of practice, and evaluation of services or transactions within the platform. Of course, the comprehensive weighted scoring may also include weighting of other factors.

[0007] The app displays a lawyer's win rate on their personal profile page.

[0008] Optionally, the app's lawyer profile page displays the number of cases the lawyer has won.

[0009] Preferably, the page displays the total number of cases handled by the lawyer.

[0010] Preferably, the page displays a link (or button) to a list of litigation cases handled by the lawyer.

[0011] Optionally, the page also displays the lawyer's transaction history and positive review rate on the platform. It features a lawyer search page where users can set a region (country, province, city, district, court). After searching, the search results page lists lawyers who have previously participated in litigation within that region. Preferably, the location information refers to a specific court. Preferably, the sorting criteria on the search results page include win rate, number of wins, number of cases handled, or a comprehensive metric that considers one or more of these factors. The app's backend server hosts a database with the following characteristics: Option 1: Its database contains a table (which can be called a "Lawyer Case Win / Loss Table"), with at least two fields: Lawyer ID and Win / Loss Status. Preferably, it also includes a Case ID field. All relevant data for each case is entered into this table, with one record for each lawyer involved. Searching this table allows you to query a lawyer's win rate, loss rate, and the number of cases handled by that lawyer. Option 2: Its database contains a table (which can be called the "Lawyer Win / Loss Rate Table"), which includes at least two fields: Lawyer ID and the lawyer's win rate or loss rate. The "Lawyer ID" in this table is unique. Option 3: The database tables (one or more) should each contain at least two fields recording two of the following: the number of wins, the number of losses, and the total number of cases handled by the lawyer. These tables should also include a lawyer ID field. This allows for querying and calculating the lawyer's win rate, loss rate, and total number of cases based on the data in these tables. Its database contains a table (which can be called a "lawyer win / loss table"), which includes at least two fields: lawyer ID and the number of cases the lawyer has won. The "lawyer ID" in this table is unique. Preferably, it also has a field for the number of cases lost or the total number of cases handled. The outcome of a lawyer's case is generally a win, a loss, or a settlement. In practice, a settlement can be included in the win or loss calculation, making it easier to handle when developing the application. The data in the table above can be filled in manually or automatically by a machine.

[0012] Optionally, lawyers can enter case-related information themselves. Optionally, clients can enter case information.

[0013] Optionally, the server program may periodically update this data from other available data sources.

[0014] After new data is added, the success rate, number of wins, number of cases handled, and other data will need to be changed accordingly. This change can be automatically calculated by the relationships defined in the database, or it can be automatically updated by the background program. The comma used in this article has the meanings of both "and" and "or".

[0015] Advantages of this invention: Based on the success rate of past lawsuits and the number of cases handled, this invention can better and more realistically reflect the lawyer's capabilities, allowing users to better understand lawyers and helping them find better lawyers.
