These let you narrow your search by role (Lawyer, Expert, Judge, or Mediator and Arbitrator, referred to as Neutral), with each filter set tailored to the details most relevant to that role.  **Step 1: Locate Role-Specific Filters**  Role-specific filters appear below the CI General Filters on the left-hand side of the screen.   CI General Filters include Role, Current Organization, Past Organization, and Location, and apply across all roles in the directory.  General Filters:    ![](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-57-51-9912-PM.png?width=405&height=669&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-57-51-9912-PM.png) Role-Specific Filters:  ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-01-7763-PM.png?width=390&height=708&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-01-7763-PM.png) **Step 2: Expand Filters**  **Expand the filters** by clicking on the role you are interested in.  You will now see the filters available for that role.  ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-15-2814-PM.png?width=336&height=621&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-15-2814-PM.png) **Step 3: Open Specific Filters**  Open the filter(s) you want to use.  ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-24-1240-PM.png?width=345&height=405&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-24-1240-PM.png) **Step 4: Two Ways to Narrow Your Filter**  You can identify your desired filter in two ways:  **Type** into the search bar to look for a specific filter type.  ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-33-2947-PM.png?width=417&height=480&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-33-2947-PM.png) Or: **Click** one of the prepopulated examples listed beneath the search bar.  ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-48-3685-PM.png?width=402&height=474&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-58-48-3685-PM.png) Your search results will automatically update to match the filters you apply.  ![A screenshot of a social media account AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-02-7478-PM.png?width=670&height=303&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-02-7478-PM.png) **Step 5: Filter by One or More Criteria**  You can filter by more than one option within the same category by selecting multiple filters.  - To do this, click on each filter option you want to apply. Each selected option will remain active as you add additional filters. - For example, within **Practice Areas**, click **Finance and Lending Law**, then click **Litigation Practice** to return profiles that match **both** criteria. - By default, multiple filters are combined using **AND**, meaning profiles must meet all selected criteria. ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-10-5806-PM.png?width=396&height=531&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-10-5806-PM.png) If you want profiles that match **any** of the selected options instead of all of them, switch the **AND/OR** toggle to **OR**.  ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-16-5610-PM.png?width=423&height=567&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-16-5610-PM.png) You should now see your updated search results reflecting the filters you selected.  ![A screenshot of a social media account AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-24-2830-PM.png?width=670&height=299&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-24-2830-PM.png) **Step 6: Combine Multiple Filters**  You can refine your search further by applying filters from different categories at the same time.  - To combine filters, select one or more filters in one category, then scroll to another category and select additional filters. All selected filters will remain active as you move between categories. - For example, select **Finance and Lending Law** under **Practice Areas**, then select **Banking and Credit** under **Industry** to return profiles that match both filters. - All filters across categories are applied together by default, meaning profiles must meet every selected filter. ![A screenshot of a phone AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-39-7476-PM.png?width=414&height=858&name=undefined-Jan-30-2026-09-59-39-7476-PM.png) **Step 7: Clear Individual or All Filters**  To remove a single filter, click the **X** next to the undesired filter.   To reset your search entirely, click **Clear** on the right-hand side.  ![](https://km.courtroominsight.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-30-2026-10-04-06-8248-PM.png?width=670&height=281&name=image-png-Jan-30-2026-10-04-06-8248-PM.png) **Still Need Help?**   *If you still have questions or experience issues, our Customer Care team is here to help.
