Law firms and in-house legal teams could develop AI tools trained on their own cases and internal documents, improving efficiency while maintaining confidentiality. These models also require far less computational power, making them more practical and cost-effective.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Use of these models have lots of applications for law. They could be used on large e-discovery data sets. They could be used to access a law firm\u2019s past efforts. They could mine clients data to provide answers to legal questions efficiently. For that matter, they could allow in house legal to answer questions from company data without engaging outside counsel on certain issues.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIT Reveals 2025 Breakthrough Tech At SXSW: What It Means For Legal &#8212; from abovethelaw.com by Stephen Embry The future isn\u2019t just about adopting new technology \u2014 it\u2019s about strategically applying it to solve the right problems.
