Research at Legal Cognition

How can AI use legal knowledge in ways that meet the demands of legal practice? This question is central to Legal Cognition. What matters is how models, legal sources and an organisation’s knowledge work together: How do agents receive the relevant context? How can professional requirements guide their work, and how can people trace and review their results? Our goal is infrastructure in which legal expertise determines how AI works – while people retain professional responsibility.

  • Evaluation

    Administrative law put to the test – illustrative previewTwo illustrative example profiles for case analysis, decision drafting, statements of defence, legal quality, verifiable evidence and recognising authority errors; they show no measured results or actual model comparisons.

    Administrative law put to the test

    We are developing a benchmark that tests AI systems on realistic public authority case files – from case file analysis and drafting administrative decisions to preparing statements of defence. The focus is on legal quality, verifiable supporting evidence and the ability to recognise errors made by the authority itself.

    Contract review and redlining – illustrative previewIllustrative bar profile covering legal quality, client instructions, counterproposals, negotiation rounds, tracked changes and comments; no measured results or model ratings.

    Contract review and redlining

    The planned benchmark examines how AI systems work on contract documents across multiple negotiation rounds. It evaluates legal quality, adherence to client instructions and the handling of the counterparty’s proposed changes – directly from the resulting Word documents with tracked changes and comments.
