Trellis向微软Copilot、ChatGPT和Claude开放25亿份法院记录

Trellis的州初审法院数据覆盖了美国98%从未进入上诉程序的案件,如今在Microsoft 365 Copilot、ChatGPT和Claude中都能直接调用。在这场法律AI的跑马圈地中,这家洛杉矶公司把同一套专有数据集授权给了每一个相互竞争的阵营。

图为阿肯色州一间州初审法庭:Trellis收录的美国案件中,98%都立案于这样的法庭,且永远不会形成公开发布的上诉判决意见。

初审法院档案接入Word

总部位于洛杉矶的法律检索公司Trellis由首席执行官妮可·克拉克与首席运营官阿隆·施瓦茨联合创立,于2026年10月15日上线了Microsoft 365 Copilot连接器1。律师在Word里起草动议时,不必离开文档,就能调取曾在同一法官面前、对阵同一位对方律师时胜诉的书状1。Trellis还直接出售这类诉讼情报,形式包括法官数据分析和每日立案报告2。

传统法律检索从未覆盖的98%案件

真正的资产是规模。Trellis称,公司掌握的州初审法院记录超过25亿份,覆盖45个州、3000家法院和3万名法官1。美国州法院中心(National Center for State Courts)统计,州法院每年受理案件7000万件,并估计全美98%的案件由这些法院处理,从未进入上诉程序3。传统法律检索建立在公开发布的上诉判决意见之上,也就是那2%进入上诉程序的案件1。

微软抬高门槛,Trellis把数据出租给每一个阵营

微软+2.47% — 微软, up 2.47 percent today的“Copilot for Legal”计划内置20多项专为法律工作打造的技能,支持来自Harvey$15.5B — Harvey, private, latest valuation $15.5B、Legora$5.55B — Legora, private, latest valuation $5.55B和DeepJudge的插件,研究合作伙伴名单上,Trellis与彭博法律(Bloomberg Law)并列4。微软的优势在于分发:国际法律技术协会(International Legal Technology Association)2026年调查显示,94%的受访律所正在使用或探索生成式AI,高于此前的80%;其中Copilot使用最广,普及率达76%1。

其礼律师事务所(Clyde & Co)总监斯蒂芬·艾伦(Stephen Allen)一语道出专业厂商面临的挤压:“我们还能做什么微软做不到的事”4。Trellis的答案是,把同一套数据授权给每一个阵营:5月12日推出Claude连接器,7月28日上线ChatGPT插件,2026年10月15日接入Microsoft 365 Copilot6。微软将Trellis列为联邦连接器(federated connector),通过模型上下文协议(Model Context Protocol)实时调取,调用以用户自身权限为限,内容不进入微软的索引3。

法院记录才是护城河

各大平台正在为触达买单。2026年10月21日,Legora融资5.5亿美元,估值88亿美元,年收入超过2亿美元;六周前,Harvey刚融资5.5亿美元,估值155亿美元7;OpenAI$500B — OpenAI, private, latest valuation $500B、Anthropic$350B — Anthropic, private, latest valuation $350B和谷歌今年都推出了法律AI产品4。

2026年9月29日,美国第三巡回上诉法院维持了汤森路透对Ross Intelligence版权案的胜诉判决。Ross Intelligence曾复制Westlaw判例摘要训练竞品引擎,这是联邦上诉法院首次作出此类判决:法律检索数据是可以拥有的财产,在位者会不惜对簿公堂来守住它8。汤森路透两头下注:一边以Copilot合作伙伴身份推出HighQ软件,一边在法庭上捍卫自家语料库4。

局限也是实实在在的:微软提醒,Copilot for Legal的回答仅供参考,可能出现不准确的引注,最终签字负责的仍是律师本人;Trellis则不披露任何收入、估值或使用数据3。接下来值得盯住的,是下一笔连接器交易,以及针对法院记录档案的首份收购要约:微软拥有律师工作的地方,Trellis拥有法院所作所为的记录。
