The Law To Know

New · Free to start

The Legal AI Lab

AI can now draft the memo, summarise the bundle and find the case. What it cannot do is carry the responsibility. The people who sign, rule, prosecute and teach still have to judge what it produced.

This lab is for people who already practise or teach law and now work alongside AI. It does not teach you what an AI is. It trains the habits that matter: checking, deciding what to hand over, and knowing when not to trust a confident answer. The exercises are written in advance and fully reviewable. Where a tool can run a real AI, it does so only when you add your own key, and says so plainly.

Contract Pipeline Lab

New · Free to start · Bring your own AI key

A working contract pipeline in your browser, from intake to portfolio. A contract becomes clauses, a data record with source quotes, a list of its own faults, and a calendar of deadlines. A real AI does the same job and is checked field by field for invented values and fabricated quotes. Then your playbook, an amendment and its impact, letters filled from the record, the questions that decide which law applies, and a portfolio of every contract you save. Everything that can be checked is checked by code.

The Case Desk

Free · A game

Open today’s paper: four news stories, all invented. Which of them raise a legal question? Then take the big one and work it like a lawyer, in ten steps: who is who, what is established and what is only alleged, which offences could fit, what is missing, who has the power to act, which evidence matters, and what can fairly be said. The relevant code is printed beside the story, so no legal knowledge is needed, only care.

The Verification Lab

Free

You get an AI-written legal memo and a pack of source documents. Sentence by sentence, you decide what the sources support and what they do not: an invented case, a rule stated too absolutely, a superseded provision, a missing exception, a made-up fact, a misquotation, a faulty step in the reasoning. Some sentences are sound on purpose, so you learn to check, not to distrust everything.

The AI Use Protocol Builder

Free

Answer a short questionnaire and get a written draft protocol for the use of AI in your firm, chambers, prosecution office, court, legal department or law school: approved tools, what may never be entered, what may and may not be delegated, checking, disclosure, supervision, incidents and review. Copy it, download it or print it. It is built in your browser from fixed text, and nothing you type is sent to us.

Bring-Your-Own-AI Lab

Free

Use the AI tool you already use, on a real document set. We give you a fictional case file, a prompt and six hidden traps. You run it, score the answer, improve the prompt, run it again, and see what changed. It shows how an AI behaves on documents, and which habits make it safer. Nothing you paste or score leaves the page, and we never see the AI’s answer.

Task Triage

Free

Fourteen tasks from the working day of a lawyer, a judge or a prosecutor. For each, decide: give AI the first draft, use AI for leads and then verify, or do not give it to AI at all. Four simple questions, asked in order, settle every one. You also learn whether your mistakes are the risky kind or the over-cautious kind.

The Judgment Stress Test

Free

Read a short decided case and the rules the court applied. Then change one fact at a time. Does the result stay the same, change, or become impossible to decide on what you are told, and why? It trains the skill of telling a legally material fact from a merely vivid one. No outside law and no tools are needed: a careful mind with the rules on the page is enough.

The Contradiction Engine

Free

Two legal principles pull in different directions: openness and privacy, disclosure and protection. You decide what kind of conflict it is, which considerations matter, and what to do. Then one fact changes and you reassess. More than one answer can be defensible, so the test is whether your reasoning follows the rules in front of you. No tools and no outside law are needed.

The Notice Drill

Free · Unlimited

A fresh problem every time: when is a notice deemed served, once working days, weekends and public holidays are counted, and does it give enough time? Date arithmetic is exactly where confident answers go wrong, so you practise it until it is automatic, with the working shown step by step.

The Law Professors’ Handbook

Lectures 1 and 2 free

For law teachers: complete example lectures that carry the doctrine and the skills students now need. The contract-law volume opens with two free lectures, on offer and acceptance and on terms and the click, each with a workshop in which students test an AI’s analysis against the sources. The full handbook is in preparation.

The Legal Word Map

Free · A map you can play with

See how a language model sees legal words. About 700 legal words and 2,000 everyday ones sit on one map, close together when they are used in similar ways. Look up a word, or do arithmetic with meaning: take a judge, remove the court, add a hospital, and you land near a doctor. It also shows where the model gets the law wrong, which is the best way to learn not to trust it blindly.

    New fictional case files for other kinds of work: research, drafting, evidence, advocacy.

  • More tracks for judges, prosecutors and law teachers

    The same methods, built around each role’s own duties and risks.

The Legal AI Lab is professional skills training. It does not give legal advice and it is not accredited by any court, regulator or professional body. All jurisdictions, statutes, cases and people in the exercises are fictional. Rules for the use of AI differ by country and change; always follow the guidance of your own court, regulator or employer.
