Frequently Asked Questions
Legal AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing to support legal work. It can analyse vast amounts of legal information, identify patterns, and deliver insights that help professionals research, draft, and manage documents more efficiently.
AI is reshaping the way lawyers and legal teams work. Tasks that once took hours, like reviewing case law, summarising legislations, or drafting contracts, can now be completed faster with AI tools. This allows legal professionals to focus more on strategy and client service, while routine tasks are streamlined.
The best AI for legal research is one that combines trusted legal content with advanced legal AI technology. Lexis+® AI with Protégé, for example, is built specifically for the legal profession and provides conversational search, accurate summaries, and linked citations to help ensure results are both fast and reliable.
AI can be used in legal research by asking questions in plain language through conversational search, generating case summaries, and exploring suggested authorities and citations. This approach saves time, reduces the risk of overlooking key sources, and helps ensure research is comprehensive.
AI enhances document review by quickly scanning large volumes of material and highlighting relevant passages, clauses, or risks. Unlike manual review, AI systems don’t tire or lose focus, which helps improve consistency. Combined with human oversight, this leads to more accurate and reliable results.
AI can be integrated across many aspects of legal practice. Lawyers use it for research, drafting documents, analysing arguments, reviewing contracts, and others time-saving tasks. By handling repetitive or time-consuming work, AI tools free up time for lawyers to focus on higher-value tasks and client relationships.
The most effective AI drafting tools are those designed specifically for the legal profession, rather than open-source tools. When it comes to drafting legal documents, Lexis Create+ stands out as the smart solution. It brings together your firm’s own documents, trusted LexisNexis content, and built-in generative AI—all within Microsoft Word—to help you draft accurately and efficiently.
