ADVANCING LEGAL PRACTICE: A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF INTEGRATING AI IN LEGAL RESEARCH, REASONING, AND WRITING

Abstract

This article explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be integrated into the fundamental components of legal practice—legal research, argumentation, and writing. At the outset, it demonstrates how supervised learning techniques of AI assist lawyers in finding precedents and identifying factually similar cases, thereby rendering the use of AI for legal research more efficient and focused. Secondly, it emphasizes the usefulness of AI’s unsupervised learning methodologies, which help lawyers comprehend legal theories and public policy concerns and develop persuasive legal arguments. Lastly, it thoroughly examines and appreciates the potential of generative AI models to refine legal writing, such as drafting legal memoranda and briefs. Exploring remedies for current deficiencies in these models, the article argues that advancing AI models can enhance the use of AI in legal practice by reducing errors and improving the quality and productivity of legal work, ultimately paving the way for the integration of AI in legal practice while preserving human creativity.
