The AI Pro helped me find the right legal references for a lawyer

A legal librarian at a law firm had to check ten references for a Belgian lawyer working on warranty of liabilities cases. Three references had errors, one of them serious, and the AI Pro with skills and Google AI Overviews found the right reference in a badly protected PDF on revue-banque.fr where another tool pointed to the wrong one, and one more error was fixed using the next year's index of decisions.

How it works

  1. She splits the Belgian law references from the French ones and sends the Belgian set to a colleague
  2. She checks the firm catalogue
  3. The AI Pro with skills and Google AI Overviews find the correct reference in a PDF on revue-banque.fr
  4. A second error is corrected from the following year's index of decisions
  5. She fetches the paper copies from the archives, scans and cleans the PDF, and sends it to the lawyer

Why it’s worth knowing

The right reference turned up in a badly protected PDF that a rival legal tool missed, and it corrected a serious error in what the lawyer had been given.
