Stanford
Legal Innovation through Frontier Technology Lab
Stanford liftlab is an interdisciplinary research lab studying how artificial intelligence is reshaping legal services.
Four Pillars
Our work is organized around four Key Pillars with the underlying goal to empirically evaluate and promote the quality of legal services in the private sector.
01
Evaluation
We develop rigorous methods to assess the quality of legal work and to understand how artificial intelligence is changing legal practice.
02
AI to Elevate Legal Services
We study how artificial intelligence can improve the delivery of legal services, from the quality of legal advice to the design of new service models.
03
The Future of Legal Education and Training
We rethink how lawyers develop expertise, exercise judgment, and learn through practice in an age of artificial intelligence.
04
Advanced Methods for Legal Analysis
We develop new methods for legal reasoning, analysis, and decision-making in practice.
Featured Projects
JudgmentBench
JudgmentBench asks which of two methodologies–rubrics and comparative judgments–is better suited to assess quality in the legal domain.
WitnessSim
WitnessSim develops an interpretable model of evolving witness behavior throughout a deposition.
Contract Tutors
Contract Tutors examines whether AI can answer student questions as reliably as law professors.
