In this AL TV Product Walk Through, Thomson Reuters’ Mike Dahn, Head of Product Management at Westlaw, shows us the new AI features of Westlaw Advantage, focusing on Deep Research and their litigation document analyzer. This also is provided via their CoCounsel Legal AI assistant. Plus, they have added an agentic capability that can plan how it will carry out the research task you are working on.
One key aspect shown here that really stood out was the way Westlaw can now not just provide increased clarity around citations during one’s own work on the platform, but can reveal citations from others’ work product that can’t be verified. I.e. this should really help to remove the challenge of people including ‘hallucinated cases’.
Dahn also goes into how TR is thinking more broadly about AI and legal research, and explains how human verification – and supporting that – is a key part of their strategy.
