RALEIGH – Two emerging startups from the Triangle are among the nine firms selected for the fourth cohort of the LexisNexis Legal Tech Accelerator.

Civvis and Courtroom5 were selected after also participating in the 2019 Duke Law Tech Lab.

“Participants receive hands-on mentoring and guidance throughout the program, which is based in the Menlo Park, CA. offices of Lex Machina and at the Raleigh Technology Center for LexisNexis on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University,” LexisNexis says. The firm does not take an equity stake or invest in selected firms, according to a spokesperson. The accelerator program runs through December.
