LEDES (Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard)

LEDES is the standard format for electronic legal billing between law firms and their clients, maintained by the LEDES Oversight Committee. Its formats — from the pipe-delimited 1998B through the XML variants — carry line-item detail, task and activity codes, and timekeeper information in a form corporate legal departments can process automatically.
