Artificial intelligence has emerged as a valuable technology in many industries and the legal sector is no exception. Artificial intelligence in the legal profession manifests itself in several different ways—from helping attorneys research deeper and faster, to providing lawyers with previously unheard-of insight into their legal strategies.

Not only does this accelerate the legal research process, it also can reveal valuable details that traditional research may have overlooked. You read more about AI and legal research here.
