Bringing Law and Tech Together: Hands-On Workshops

The Problem

Legal professionals, technologists and other stakeholders lack a structured, collaborative environment to address real-world legal challenges with technology. This gap results in poor solutions, missed innovation opportunities, and limited progress in growing the local legal-tech ecosystem.

Workshops

Workshops provide just that structured environment where real change happens.

We start with a problem statement, go through a structured process that helps the group work on it, then you have an output which is the result of the work done.

...Problem statementWorkshopOutput

The Bar Council has issued new guidance for barristers on the use of generative artificial intelligence.

We might frame the issue underlying the need for that guidance like this:

Problem Statement
It is dangerous to use generative AI to build an oral argument

Using that problem statement as a starting point, we can structure a workshop to address it:

Workshop
AI Moot

A barrister, working with a software engineer uses a LLM to build an AI moot or oral argument with the assistance / input of the wider group.

Output
The content of the Moot along with the participant commentary

The output does not necessarily have to be a product, or piece of code, it may just be the discussion - the value is as much that the discussion was had.

In whatever case the output will be recorded or persisted in some way.
