Traditional legal research often involves entering keywords into a database and sifting through countless results, hoping to pinpoint relevant information. This method is time-consuming and requires extensive manual effort to identify applicable case laws and legislation. In contrast, LRAI revolutionizes this process by leveraging sophisticated AI technology to analyze the legal issues in each case description and performing context-aware searches tailored to each issue.

Traditional legal research involves a lengthy manual process:

1) First, thoroughly analyze the case to identify all the issues.

2) Then, from the issues involved, identify the exact legal databases to search in.

3) Next, come up with critical keywords to search through the databases. This requires knowing exactly what keywords to use, considering synonyms, and testing various keyword combinations.

4) After running the search, read through the results one by one to determine their relevance. Case law documents are often incredibly long and mentally exhausting to go through.

5) Sometimes, just because a case has similar keywords doesn’t mean it is relevant, as each case is unique with different context and factors. Traditional keyword-based searches struggle to account for this, lacking the ability to perform contextual analysis and comparison.

Compounding this is the sheer volume of case law and legislation clauses (in the millions). This makes traditional legal research akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

With LRAI, the legal research process looks like this:

1) First, enter the case description.

2) LRAI performs a deep analysis of the case description to identify all the legal issues involved.

3) For each legal issue, LRAI conducts keyword searches and AI-enhanced, context-aware searches. The unique aspects and context of each issue are considered in finding the most relevant cases.

4) Go through the LRAI search results, and generate concise summaries for each case to decide on their relevance. This way, you can easily go through multiple cases in a minute rather than spending hours reading through the cases.

5) After that, shortlist the relevant cases, and then query them further using the detailed summary and Q&A functions.

6) Along with case law, by performing a LRAI search you will also get a list of the most relevant legislation clauses for each legal issue, eliminating the need to sift through millions of clauses manually.

Keywords can hardly capture the essence of a case—context is always crucial. This is where AI technology shines, as it can analyze not just the words, but the context and meaning within them.

By switching to the LRAI workflow for legal research, you can save a huge amount of time on tedious research. This allows you to focus on the more important aspects of building strong arguments, getting better outcomes for your clients, and growing your practice.
