Reimagining What Legal Excellence Looks Like in the Age of AI

liftlab is a team of legal scholars, computer scientists, engineers, and researchers driven by a shared curiosity. Our liftlab team studies how AI can support lawyers in their work, help students learn through practice, and serve the legal profession responsibly. By turning our research into hands-on prototypes and simulations, we aim to make legal services in the private sector more adaptable and accessible. We don’t see technology as a way to replace people. Our work is about helping humans and machines do their best work together.

Key Pillars

The liftlab Approach

Our work centers on 3 key pillars that guide how we study, build, and collaborate.

Evaluation
We define and measure what quality means in legal work, and how AI tools can integrate with, and improve, the practice of law. Our research compares human and machine performance to understand how both can contribute to better outcomes.
Education
We build and test tools that complement traditional legal education by allowing participants to apply theoretical concepts to realistic, interactive simulations. This helps bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the skills required in an evolving legal environment.
Experimentation
From legal personas to contract assessment, we translate our ideas and research into working prototypes. Each experiment helps us understand how technology can responsibly lift the profession.
