The $100 billion disruption: How AI is reshaping legal tech — from americanbazaaronline.com by Rohan Hundia and Rajesh Mehta
The Size of the Problem: Judicial Backlog and Inefficiencies
India has a massive backlog of more than 47 million pending cases, with civil litigation itself averaging 1,445 days in resolution. In the United States, federal courts dispose of nearly 400,000 cases a year, and complex litigations take years to complete. Artificial intelligence-driven case law research, contract automation, and predictive analytics will cut legal research times by 90%, contract drafting fees by 60%, and hasten case settlements, potentially saving billions of dollars in legal costs.
This is not just an evolution—it is a permanent change toward data-driven jurisprudence, with AI supplementing human capabilities, speeding up delivery of justice, and extending access to legal services. The AI revolution for legal tech is not on its way; it is already under way, dismantling inefficiencies and transforming the legal world in real time.
Scaling and Improving Legal Tech Projects — from legaltalknetwork.com by Taylor Sartor, Luigi Bai, David Gray, and Cat Moon
Legal tech innovators discuss how they are working to scale and improve their successful projects on Talk Justice. FosterPower and Legal Aid Content Intelligence (LACI) leverage technology to make high-quality legal information available to people for free online. Both also received Technology Initiative Grants (TIG) from the Legal Services Corporation to launch their projects. Then, in 2024 they were both selected for a different TIG, called the Sustainability, Enhancement and Adoption (SEA) grant. This funding supports TIG projects that have demonstrated excellent results as they improve their tools and work to increase uptake.
