As interest in the use of AI in the legal profession continues to grow, the challenge is no longer finding information but sorting through the volume of it. Hundreds of articles appear each week across the legal and wider press, alongside a steady flow of academic research, video and podcast discussion, and conferences and webinars.
This site, together with a fortnightly newsletter on Substack, identifies and organises sources worth knowing about across those areas — news, research, media, and events — as a way for readers to follow the evolving landscape and get a sense of the overall picture, rather than tracking it all themselves.
When generative AI models were launched into the public domain in late 2022, they may at first have seemed to many lawyers more like novelty apps than serious legal tools — better suited to settling pub arguments than drafting an NDA or carrying out legal research. Early stories of AI-generated court filings containing invented case citations became a familiar cautionary tale. Understanding AI's limitations turned out to matter as much as understanding its capabilities.
A few years on, legal AI has grown into a sizeable industry, with specialist platforms such as Harvey and Legora sitting alongside general-purpose tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. Interest has grown particularly quickly over the past year, and surveys suggest a rising number of lawyers are using AI in some form, while many others believe they should be, but remain unsure where to start.
The site is organised around the different places this information comes from:
The aim, going forward, is to keep developing the site and newsletter to identify news, media, research and events that are genuinely useful for lawyers trying to follow how AI is being used in their profession.
