The Legal AI Lab

AI can now draft the memo, summarise the bundle and find the case. What it cannot do is carry the responsibility. The people who sign, rule, prosecute and teach still have to judge what it produced.

This lab is for people who already practise or teach law and now work alongside AI. It does not teach you what an AI is. It trains the habits that matter: checking, deciding what to hand over, and knowing when not to trust a confident answer. The exercises are written in advance and fully reviewable. Where a tool can run a real AI, it does so only when you add your own key, and says so plainly.

Who it is for

Law students

Learn to work a story like a lawyer, and see how a language model reads legal words.

Lawyers

Check what an AI wrote, run a contract through a pipeline, and decide what never to hand over.

Judges

Sealed material, time limits and reasons that are yours alone, with a tool at your elbow.

Prosecutors

Charging, disclosure and an informant’s name: where an AI draft can do real harm.

Law teachers

Teach the doctrine with the AI-era skills built in, and mark honestly when everyone has a tool.

The first exercise of every tool is free. The whole Lab is one purchase of $49, once, and it is also included in an All-Access Membership.

Contract Pipeline Lab

New · Bring your own AI key

A working contract pipeline in your browser, from intake to portfolio. A contract becomes clauses, a data record with source quotes, a list of its own faults, and a calendar of deadlines. A real AI does the same job and is checked field by field for invented values and fabricated quotes. Then your playbook, an amendment and its impact, letters filled from the record, the questions that decide which law applies, and a portfolio of every contract you save. Everything that can be checked is checked by code.

The first exercise in every tool is free, so you can try before you buy. Everything else is in the Lab pass.

The Case Desk

First edition free · A game

Open today’s paper: four news stories, all invented. Which of them raise a legal question? Then take the big one and work it like a lawyer, in ten steps: who is who, what is established and what is only alleged, which offences could fit, what is missing, who has the power to act, which evidence matters, and what can fairly be said. The relevant code is printed beside the story, so no legal knowledge is needed, only care.

The Verification Lab

First one free

You get an AI-written legal memo and a pack of source documents. Sentence by sentence, you decide what the sources support and what they do not: an invented case, a rule stated too absolutely, a superseded provision, a missing exception, a made-up fact, a misquotation, a faulty step in the reasoning. Some sentences are sound on purpose, so you learn to check, not to distrust everything.

The AI Use Protocol Builder

Free

Answer a short questionnaire and get a written draft protocol for the use of AI in your firm, chambers, prosecution office, court, legal department, law school, law clinic, advice charity or arbitration practice: approved tools, what may never be entered, what may and may not be delegated, checking, disclosure, supervision, incidents and review, with optional sections on public-facing tools, documents from others, cross-border data, records and fees. Copy it, download it or print it, and take a one-page staff summary, a short public statement and a blank AI-use log with it. It is built in your browser from fixed text, and nothing you type is sent to us.

Bring-Your-Own-AI Lab

First one free

Use the AI tool you already use, on a real document set. We give you a fictional case file, a prompt and six hidden traps. You run it, score the answer, improve the prompt, run it again, and see what changed. It shows how an AI behaves on documents, and which habits make it safer. Nothing you paste or score leaves the page, and we never see the AI’s answer.

Task Triage

First one free

Fourteen tasks from the working day of a lawyer, a judge or a prosecutor. For each, decide: give AI the first draft, use AI for leads and then verify, or do not give it to AI at all. Four simple questions, asked in order, settle every one. You also learn whether your mistakes are the risky kind or the over-cautious kind.

The Judgment Stress Test

First one free

Read a short decided case and the rules the court applied. Then change one fact at a time. Does the result stay the same, change, or become impossible to decide on what you are told, and why? It trains the skill of telling a legally material fact from a merely vivid one. No outside law and no tools are needed: a careful mind with the rules on the page is enough.

The Contradiction Engine

First one free

Two legal principles pull in different directions: openness and privacy, disclosure and protection. You decide what kind of conflict it is, which considerations matter, and what to do. Then one fact changes and you reassess. More than one answer can be defensible, so the test is whether your reasoning follows the rules in front of you. No tools and no outside law are needed.

The Due Diligence Data Room

First room free

A company is being bought and twenty of its contracts are in the data room. Run a pipeline over all of them, read the heat map of ten checks, and find the clauses it cannot see: two change-of-control rights written in words the rules do not know. Then write the one-page escalation memo and be marked on what you caught and what you padded. The same room is reviewed twice, as a share purchase and as an asset purchase, and the red flags change.

The Notice Drill

Lab pass · Unlimited

A fresh problem every time: when is a notice deemed served, once working days, weekends and public holidays are counted, and does it give enough time? Date arithmetic is exactly where confident answers go wrong, so you practise it until it is automatic, with the working shown step by step.

The Law Professors’ Handbook

Lectures 1 and 2 free

For law teachers: complete example lectures that carry the doctrine and the skills students now need. The contract-law volume opens with two free lectures, on offer and acceptance and on terms and the click, each with a workshop in which students test an AI’s analysis against the sources. The full handbook is in preparation.

The Legal Word Map

Free · A map you can play with

See how a language model sees legal words. About 700 legal words and 2,000 everyday ones sit on one map, close together when they are used in similar ways. Look up a word, or do arithmetic with meaning: take a judge, remove the court, add a hospital, and you land near a doctor. It also shows where the model gets the law wrong, which is the best way to learn not to trust it blindly.

Open the map

The Legal AI Lab is professional skills training. It does not give legal advice and it is not accredited by any court, regulator or professional body. All jurisdictions, statutes, cases and people in the exercises are fictional. Rules for the use of AI differ by country and change; always follow the guidance of your own court, regulator or employer.
