How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Legal Research

The research tools of tomorrow are here today, powered by AI and analytics.

Amid all the innovation — and accompanying uncertainty — characterizing the legal profession, one thing that remains unchanged is the crucial importance of legal research. How this research is conducted is constantly advancing and evolving. Just as attorneys who only knew of hard-copy books would be amazed by current online legal research services, attorneys using these services will in turn be amazed by the research tools of tomorrow, powered by artificial intelligence and analytics.

How are these innovations changing the nature of legal research? How can attorneys performing legal research leverage these advances to work more efficiently and have more confidence in their results? We explore these, and many other questions, in the third of our four-part, multimedia exploration of how artificial intelligence and similar innovations are reshaping the legal profession: Law2020. We also offer a case study of Westlaw Edge — the just-launched, reimagined version of Westlaw, the industry-leading online legal research service from Thomson Reuters.
