Natural Language Processing and AI will likely transform the work of legal professionals. While there already exists lots of commercial legal AI tech, we zoom in on the potential of such technology for public agencies. Specifically, we collaborate with public legal services and investigate how AI can assist such services. We do not want to develop tools which eventually would automate away manual labor but want to build legal tech which assists them in their everyday work.
This talk presents work in progress. Preliminary findings of an early prototype which retrieves relevant information and legal arguments for search queries will be presented. We’ll dive into technical details of that system, its current limitations and future work. Lastly, we’ll elaborate on how public agencies have different requirements than private law firms, and how current legal tech does not cater towards the exact needs of such public agencies.
