A specialist language model
An answer you can
take to the file.
The Legal and Courts model from the Institute of AI is made for the law and procedure of England and Wales. Find the authority, review the contract and prepare for the hearing, with AI built, hosted and maintained in the UK.
The work around the advice
The advice stays yours.
The groundwork can be shared.
Bring the question, the contract or the file. The Legal and Courts model helps organise the law and the facts into a draft a fee earner can check and settle.
- 01
Find the law and cite it
Answer with the statute, the case and the rule that apply, cited closely enough for a colleague to check.
Statute and case law - 02
Review the contract
Read a contract clause by clause and flag what is missing, unusual or one-sided, with the reason given.
Contract review - 03
Prepare for the tribunal
Turn a file into a chronology, a summary and a skeleton in the order the tribunal will take them.
Tribunal procedure
Legal work, cited closely enough to check.
Pick a matter. The IoAI Legal and Courts model works from the statute, the case law and the procedure rules, and shows its source with every answer.
Limitation
When time started running, how contract and negligence differ, and what you need from the client.
Litigation solicitor: A client wants to sue a builder for defective work finished years ago. Are we out of time? Legal and Courts: For a contract claim, time runs from the breach, which here is when the defective work was done, not from when the client noticed it. A negligence claim may run from the date of damage, and there are separate rules for latent damage. Source: Limitation Act 1980, s.5

What happens to what we send?
It is used to answer your request and nothing else. It is never used to train, tune or improve the model. It is encrypted in transit and at rest, and every request and answer is recorded so you can see what was asked and what came back.
Where does the model run?
In the UK. The Legal and Courts model is built, hosted and maintained in the UK by the Institute of AI.
Which guidance does it draw on?
The statute, reported case law, procedure rules and practice directions of England and Wales, and the eligibility rules that govern legal aid. Every answer names the authority it rests on so it can be checked.
How do we access the model?
Access is by request. Tell the Institute of AI which firm, chambers or advice service you work for and what you would use the model for. The Legal and Courts model is available through a secure chat workspace, an API or agents.
