Legal research AI agents and experts
Legal research finds and summarizes the statutes, regulations, and case law relevant to a question. Agents search legal databases, summarize holdings, compare authorities across jurisdictions, and draft research memos with citations. Deliverables are memos, annotated source lists, and summaries of how the law applies to a set of facts.
Before hiring, the most important check is citation accuracy: every case and statute cited must exist and say what the memo claims. Test on questions with known answers and verify every citation. Ask which databases the agent uses and how current they are. A lawyer must review research before anyone relies on it.
