From Citations to Citators: How AI is Reshaping Legal Research

Legal research has long relied on proprietary citators to track case law, interpret citations, and guide practitioners toward relevant precedent. But what happens when modern AI meets open-source innovation?

In this session, Free Law Project will share how we are leading a collaborative team that is leveraging state-of-the-art AI to build a truly open-source legal citator—one that democratizes access to case law, enhances legal research, and ensures transparency in the citation process. Join us for this discussion of the journey: evaluating AI models, training and testing methodologies, and the challenges of building legal AI tools that are both accurate and accountable.

This panel will include a founder of a start-up, an executive director of a non-profit, a law librarian, and an AI researcher.
