Deep Research on Westlaw 鈥� Expanded coverage, enhanced precision

Deep Research now covers state administrative materials in addition to federal sources, giving customers a more complete view of the regulatory landscape. Customers also get timely, curated updates on case law, regulatory changes, and practice developments from JD Supra, Quinlan, and Westlaw Daily Briefings. Plus, the new Clarifying Questions feature asks for additional details when it spots gaps, then reruns the analysis to make each report more precise and tailored to what customers actually need.

Identifying Citation Issues

CoCounsel’s Identifying Citation Issues feature allows users to upload a brief or memo and get an instant review for inaccurate or missing citations eliminating tedious, line by line checks. CoCounsel flags potential errors and presents a clear side by side table showing the original cite and the issue detected, allowing the ability to fix problems fast. Every check is validated against the trusted authority of Westlaw, delivering confidence that the cited sources are accurate before filing. The result: tighter documents, fewer surprises, and more time for the substance of the argument.

AI Overview for Statutes Compare

Comparing statute versions just got easier. With AI Overview in Statutes Compare, users can click once to get a clear, plain language summary of what changed materially between two versions 鈥� so less time is spent wading through long sections and cosmetic edits, and more time spent understanding the impact. It filters out formatting and nonsubstantive tweaks to spotlight the revisions that matter for analysis, improving efficiency, reducing the risk of missing a key change, and briefing clients or colleagues with confidence.

Find Practical Law Drafting Language

Find Practical Law drafting language is a new skill available to quickly find the drafting language needed by simply entering in a prompt for specific clauses or to fit certain scenarios, such as 鈥渇ind me drafting language where party A resides in a different state but agrees to this state鈥檚 forum.鈥� This AI-powered search capability eliminates the need to navigate complex taxonomies or remember exact clause titles, reducing drafting time while maintaining the rigor and reliability users trust and expect from Practical Law.

Practical Law Search & Summarize in Word

Designed to deepen the Practical Law integration within Word, this feature, coming soon, lets legal professionals ask how-to questions and get summarized, synthesized answers pulled from Practical Law’s full collection of practice notes, checklists, and standard documents. Responses include citations to source materials, making it easy to verify information or dig deeper.

Update Contract Terms

CoCounsel can now handle the tedious work of updating contract terms. Upload a term sheet, and it populates your template or precedent agreement with tracked changes and annotations showing what was revised. It’s a straightforward time-saver that reduces manual data entry errors and frees up legal professionals to focus on higher-level work

Rooted in Your Knowledge

By integrating with document management systems, precedents, and templates, CoCounsel Legal delivers insights that draw from both a firm’s institutional knowledge and 成人VR视频 authoritative sources

NetDocuments and the ndConnect Program

A with NetDocuments delivers another advantage for legal professionals. With the introduction of ndConnect, NetDocuments鈥� new interoperability program, legal professionals can securely incorporate AI capabilities from CoCounsel Legal into their document management workflows. Users can now conduct legal research with Westlaw and Practical Law, draft documents based on both their own internal content and that of 成人VR视频, and analyze documents with advanced review capabilities 鈥� all while maintaining their documents鈥� integrity and metadata within NetDocuments.

This unique advantage means we are delivering cutting-edge solutions to enable higher quality work, faster, while reflecting the needs and expectations of how professionals work today and will in the future.

However, there is not an AI system that is entirely free from the possibility of inaccuracies.

A听recent case听was published from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California that included sanctions for the submission of a brief containing numerous hallucinated citations. Through initial research to create the brief, a public large language model was used and the accuracy of several citations from the preliminary information were not verified.

Our investigation found no evidence that either CoCounsel or Westlaw was the source of the fabricated cases. We confirmed that Quick Check on Westlaw Precision identified all the issues with the erroneous quotes.

This case illustrates that despite the transformative capabilities of AI within the legal industry, .

At 成人VR视频, we strongly advocate for human verification of AI-generated results. That is why our customers see guidance in each of our products for a human to verify all AI generated results. And 成人VR视频 offers multiple solutions including Quick Check on both Westlaw Edge and Westlaw Precision, KeyCite, amongst others, to help verify information.

成人VR视频 is committed to building responsible AI solutions that legal professionals can rely on while respecting the irreplaceable qualities humans bring to the table: judgment, empathy, and understanding of human nuance. This human-centric approach to AI isn’t just good practice 鈥� it’s essential for maintaining the integrity of legal work.

Tax, Audit & Accounting听听

鈥淎I is not just changing the landscape of accounting, it’s reshaping it.鈥� That was the message from Elizabeth Beastrom, president of Tax & Accounting at 成人VR视频. 听

While the profession sees AI as a game-changer to help them work differently, tax and accounting professionals also continue to wrestle with the perennial challenge of a talent shortage. This, combined with escalating complexity and more tax regulations, as well as changing client expectations, leaves tax professionals in need of a critical solution.听

成人VR视频 sees the potential of AI to help alleviate these challenges by augmenting human capabilities. Automating mundane, time-consuming tasks will enhance efficiency for tax professionals, helping them reclaim time to channel into higher value tasks. 成人VR视频 is working to bring the power of generative AI, machine learning and automation into its solutions in the following ways:

Below, CJ Lechtenberg, senior director, Westlaw Product Management, 成人VR视频, shares her insights on developing Mischaracterization Identification, a generative AI capability to help detect mischaracterizations and omissions in legal briefs.

In the five years since Quick Check was introduced, you鈥檝e added many enhancements including Quick Check Contrary Authority Identification, Quick Check Judicial and Quick Check Quotation Analysis. How did integrating generative AI make the Mischaracterization Identification enhancement different than previous ones?

Lechtenberg: This enhancement takes researchers beyond the step of knowing what might be a potential mischaracterization to an explanation of why something might be a potential mischaracterization 鈥� and that is radically different from any feature we鈥檝e deployed in Quick Check before.

I鈥檓 sure it鈥檒l come as no surprise when I say that generative AI is just a completely different beast. Lay people may think about the law as being black and white.听You can do this; you 肠补苍鈥檛 do that.听But legal professionals know that the law is really a sea of varying shades of gray. With machine learning, we wrestled with how we could ever give the machine enough data to figure out all the different ways an attorney may mischaracterize the law.

In Quick Check Quotation Analysis prior to the Mischaracterization Identification enhancement, we highlighted the actual textual differences 鈥� additions, omissions, and changes 鈥� in the quotations and showed the context around the quotes.听Doing so certainly saved researchers a significant amount of time and helped them spot issues they might not otherwise find, but the onus was still on researchers to review everything and determine what the precise differences were and how material they might be, if at all.听Even with the additional context provided, it could still be difficult to determine whether the quotations were taken out of context, especially if the quotes themselves didn鈥檛 appear to be different.

In developing Mischaracterization Identification, we recognized that the task of analyzing quotations and their context is so nuanced that attorneys will have different expectations for whether a mischaracterization occurred, so we needed to provide more than just categorizations. We found that large language models (LLMs) can generate nuanced descriptions of potential mischaracterizations, versus just explicit categorizations, and do it well, which is hugely beneficial for this type of task.

How will using Mischaracterization Identification give legal professionals and law firms a competitive advantage? How will judges using it benefit?听

Lechtenberg: The advantages of using the new Mischaracterization Identification are substantial for both legal professionals and the judiciary 鈥� both in terms of speed of review and quality of work product.听When we launched Quick Check Quotation Analysis in 2020, customers, both legal professionals and the judiciary, lamented about how time-consuming it is for them to review quotations and how challenging it is to spot differences. It is a mentally taxing task and often our brains fill in the blanks 鈥� interpreting what we think a brief maybe should say but actually doesn鈥檛.听 Attorneys never have a surplus of time, so the last thing they want to do is spend the little bit they have on the most tedious of tasks and still end up missing potential problems.

For attorneys, Mischaracterization Identification will help them efficiently and accurately make contextual misstatement and omission determinations for their opponents鈥� and their own quotations and the context surrounding those quotations. The fear of missing their own mistakes is very real for attorneys, but the possibility of missing the opportunity to capitalize on their opponents鈥� mistakes is an even larger concern. This new enhancement reduces both of those worries and will help attorneys be even better advocates for their clients.

Judges will also be able to effectively review the filings of parties in matters before them much faster. Attorneys owe a duty of candor to the judiciary and the Mischaracterization Identification feature will help flag any potential issues quickly. An added benefit, which members of the judiciary or their staff perhaps haven鈥檛 considered, is the ability to analyze their own orders and opinions to ensure that they haven鈥檛 made mistakes that could be appealed. This new enhancement will help alert judges and law clerks to potential issues before they finalize their opinions.

What early feedback are you hearing from customers?

Lechtenberg: In a recent survey, 93% of law firm professionals told us they鈥檝e seen opposing counsel misuse a quotation, 66% said they鈥檝e seen misrepresentations by an associate or colleague, and 65% of corporate respondents said they check the accuracy of outside counsel鈥檚 quotations.听The need to review opposing counsels鈥� and colleagues鈥� briefs for mischaracterizations of the law is still a very real issue for attorneys. Likewise, attorneys have said they鈥檙e always concerned about the accuracy of their work and that maintaining their reputation as a credible litigator with courts and opposing counsel is incredibly important.

Customers are extremely excited about this new Quick Check enhancement to help combat these concerns and we鈥檝e received positive feedback from them.听One law firm managing partner stated that they would use this tool a lot.听They cite-check their opponents鈥� briefs, so any shortcuts are beneficial to them. They recognize that most of the time, errors are harmless, but occasionally there are things they want to bring to the court鈥檚 attention and this feature will help them spot those issues more quickly and accurately.

Another law firm partner said this new feature is the 鈥渦ltimate security blanket鈥� because everything attorneys do is based on their credibility, and this feature alerting them to quotes being taken out of context before filing with the court would calm some of those fears.

Any surprising or unexpected moments as the team worked on developing or launching Mischaracterization Identification?

Lechtenberg: The fact that we鈥檝e accomplished this now with the use of LLMs is exciting, a little surprising and a long time coming. I鈥檓 an attorney who leads a team of attorneys; we鈥檙e literally trained to question everything and have a healthy dose of skepticism.听But I have been dreaming about a mischaracterization identification feature in Quick Check ever since we developed Quotation Analysis more than five years ago. At my core, I believed someday this could be achieved, but for years traditional machine learning approaches were just not powerful or nuanced enough to do it well.

Leveraging LLMs for a use case like this is a new frontier like we鈥檝e never seen before.听The LLM鈥檚 ability to analyze text from an uploaded document and compare that text to the text from the cited case used to support the argument and then go beyond highlighting textual differences and provide an actual explanation of what may be problematic 鈥� whether that鈥檚 a selective quote, omitted context or a misinterpreted holding 鈥� has been absolutely astounding.

What鈥檚 the one thing you want everyone to know about Mischaracterization Identification?

Lechtenberg: Mischaracterization Identification will not only help researchers spot contextual misstatements and omissions in their opponents鈥� or their own quotations and contextual statements faster and with more accuracy, but most importantly it will help them understand why those misstatements or omissions may be problematic. And, spoiler alert: Mischaracterization Identification is just the beginning of how 成人VR视频 will harness the power of generative AI in Quick Check to solve important customer problems.

We generate ideas and solutions to determine the art of possible, and in partnership with product engineers and other stakeholders, we deliver smarter and more valuable capabilities for our customers.

AI and 成人VR视频 Labs: A multi-decade partnership

The groundwork for much of what we are doing now with generative AI (GenAI) was established in the early 1990s with our work on Westlaw Is Natural (WIN), the first commercially available search engine with probabilistic rank retrieval.

We have also long employed ModelOps, an extension and adaptation of the DevOps principles for the AI ecosystem. The objective is to shorten the AI delivery lifecycle and ensure long term sustainability and quality levels of AI solutions through a combination of automation, continuous delivery and monitoring best practices.

This is a guest post from John Duprey, distinguished engineer, 成人VR视频.

For legal professionals filing a lawsuit, defending a lawsuit, or advising clients on potential liability, often their first step is to identify applicable claims or counterclaims. Yet not all claims are equal. Some causes of action have a lower threshold to achieve, some provide for attorneys鈥� fees or higher damages, and some fit better with the facts of a particular case.

In testing with attorneys, those who used the new skill found relevant causes of action three times faster than when using traditional research methods. In addition, in reviewing Am Law 50 litigation where claims were added after the initial pleadings, the new skill found 94% of the claims that were missed in the initial pleadings and later added by the firms.

鈥淔inding claims with traditional research methods can be difficult and time consuming,鈥� said Mike Dahn, head of Westlaw Product Management, 成人VR视频. 鈥淓ven experienced lawyers can miss applicable claims. Customers have told us about the difficulty of claims research for years, and it鈥檚 not just that it can take hours 鈥� it’s error prone, which is easy to see in how often reputable firms attempt to add new claims or counterclaims later in litigation, after the initial pleadings. But courts won鈥檛 always allow you to add a claim later, and missing the best claims can have significant consequences. It can mean the difference between winning or losing a motion, recovering more in damages or attorney’s fees, or potentially losing a case.鈥�

Dahn added this new skill was purpose-built using the latest generative AI plus new claims content created by 成人VR视频 attorney editors. 鈥淲hen we tried to solve claims research issues with AI alone, it didn鈥檛 work very well, so we had our attorney editors create new content about causes of action that enabled AI to work much better. We鈥檒l continue to do work like this for other workflows where AI alone struggles.”

The new skill is the latest milestone in the 成人VR视频 expanded vision for CoCounsel 鈥� the professional-grade GenAI assistant 鈥� to enable professionals to seamlessly complete complicated work involving multiple products through a single generative AI assistant.
