Unlocking Legal Knowledge with AI: A Game-Changer for Access to Justice
Professor Angel Chang is spearheading a groundbreaking collaboration with Caseway AI to transform how legal information is accessed. The focus is on making over 100 million court decisions searchable and usable by AI systems—improving decision-making for self-represented and marginalized individuals.
Key Aspects of the Research:
- Collaborative Effort: Joint project between SFU and Caseway AI, backed by Mitacs funding.
- Innovative Approach: Court decisions will be structured for accessibility by AI, minimizing reliance on secondary sources.
- Rigorous Testing: The research tackles whether better access leads to enhanced understanding and outcomes for those without legal representation.
With AI tools often surfacing unreliable legal information, this initiative aims to ground responses in verified judicial texts, ultimately setting new standards for legal data accessibility.
