@andrewarruda I just interviewed Daniel for the podcast yesterday. His hypothesis was that AI use would diminish legal reasoning and judgment but he found the opposite.
With Anthropic's recent release of AI plugins for legal (and a similar release of plugins expected from OpenAI), commercial lawyers are enjoying a surfeit of AI tooling for use with the foundation labs' AI models. But what about legal aid lawyers who represent clients in civil matters? As reported in a LawSites post today, LawDroid has those lawyers covered, too.
From the LawSites post:
" . . . LawDroid today announced the release of theย Legal Aid Plugin, a free, open-source plugin built specifically for civil legal aid organizations, court self-help programs, and public-interest legal providers using the Claude AI platform.
"Available now atย https://t.co/Vn7folkhaQย andย GitHub, the Legal Aid Plugin is designed to help ensure that the access-to-justice community is included in the growing legal AI ecosystem, LawDroid says."
Hats off to LawDroid for this effort!
