Survey of Law Library Use of Artificial Intelligence

  • PDF Icon

    Report

  • 90 Pages
  • February 2019
  • Region: Global
  • Primary Research Group
  • ID: 4752195

The 90-page study presents data and commentary from 72 law libraries predominantly from the USA and Canada, about their use of artificial intelligence products in legal research and other applications.  In addition, the study highlights how these libraries are educating their patrons in artificial intelligence approaches to legal research and organizational management.  Survey participants also rate the impact and expected impact of artificial intelligence on various aspects of the legal profession including legal research, eDiscovery, law services marketing and other areas.  Survey takers name the artificial intelligence products that have most affected their operations thus far; specific data is presented on the extent of use by those in the sample of a broad range of artificial intelligence products.

Data in the report is broken out for many different organizations, i.e., law firms (about 30 in the sample) university law libraries (16) and other types of law libraries.  In addition, data is broken out by age, gender and other variables related to wither the law libraries and the individuals taking the survey. 

Just a few of this pathbreaking report’s many findings are that:

  • 2.78% of respondents indicated their organization had used artificial intelligence tools for predicting length of sentence or likelihood of imprisonment.
  • 40% of law firms sampled were using artificial intelligence tools to predict money awards of damages.
  • Respondents under the age of 45 were much more likely than older survey participants to say that artificial intelligence approaches had  significantly impacted docket searching.
