Ready‑to‑paste GitHub Wiki markdown
The tools below illustrate how large‑language‑model (LLM) features are already being woven into everyday legal workflows. Each section contains: • What the product does • Representative case study • Mermaid sequence diagram showing where the software fits in a lawyer’s routine.
1. Thomson Reuters Westlaw Precision + CoCounsel
AI‑enhanced legal research
What it does
Westlaw Precision now embeds CoCounsel, an LLM assistant that answers natural‑language research questions, suggests claims/defenses, and drafts memos with linked authorities.
Case study
A litigation associate pastes a complex fact pattern. CoCounsel returns a list of possible causes of action, each with live KeyCite links. The lawyer refines the query, receives a drafted multi‑jurisdiction memo, verifies a few citations, and finalizes the research in under an hour instead of a day.
