LexisNexis Expands Legal Generative AI Ecosystem for Lawyers & Law Schools
NEW YORK — LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of information and analytics, today announced the expansion of its generative AI-enabled legal product ecosystem that supports conversational search, intelligent legal drafting, insightful summarization, and document analysis. According to an early user survey, the recently launched Lexis+ AI™ is already driving significant productivity benefits; and select law school faculty are next in line to experience Lexis+ AI. LexisNexis is introducing a new generative AI service called Lexis® Snapshot that alerts users to summaries of legal documents across the LexisNexis portfolio, and Lexis+ AI capabilities are now available in the Lexis® Create document drafting tool that’s integrated into Microsoft Word. Lexis+ AI According to a survey among commercial preview customers, 86% agree that Lexis+ AI is easy to use. Respondents also report that Lexis+ AI is driving significant productivity gains in law firms: “Lexis+ AI is a fascinating product worth using to save time,” said Judy Andresen, Business and Legal Research Analyst, DLA Piper. Greg Lambert, Chief Knowledge Services Officer at Jackson Walker LLP strongly agrees Lexis+ AI is both useful and trustworthy. "I have found the ability to prompt the legal research tool with a common language query to be extremely useful and the results have been very good. It gives me a great place to start.” According to Sukhdeep Gosal, Deputy District Attorney, Sutter County District Attorney’s Office, Lexis+ AI “works great with simple, quick questions you need answered without having to go through a whole bunch of cases or laws.” To date, Lexis+ AI has been developed with commercial preview users from leading global law firms, corporate legal departments, U.S. small law firms, and U.S. courts, and the company plans to expand its commercial preview program to legal professionals in Canada, the UK, France, and Australia in 2024. Now, law school librarians, legal research and writing, and legal technology professors at all U.S. American Bar Association (ABA) accredited law schools will have access to Lexis+ AI. Feedback from this set of customers will be used to further refine the solution, develop cutting-edge and ethical AI education tools, and to inform the product’s introduction to additional faculty. Lexis Snapshot The alerting service ensures business development and client impacts are identified as quickly as possible. At launch, the Lexis Snapshot service can be added to CourtLink, with a view to expand the service to additional products and document types within the LexisNexis generative AI-enabled legal product ecosystem in future releases. The Lexis Snapshot service will be free to preview for CourtLink customers through the end of 2023.* Lexis Create “We’ve seen unprecedented demand for Lexis+ AI, and early usage results reinforce how transformative LexisNexis generative AI technology is for our customers’ work,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK, and Ireland. “We’re rapidly introducing generative AI capabilities across our entire legal product portfolio to accelerate our customers’ success and to deliver significant productivity, work quality, and value gains for their firms and institutions.” LexisNexis is responsibly developing legal AI solutions with human oversight.
