What is Ask Practical Law AI?

Ask Practical Law AI uses large language models - a type of generative AI - and focuses the models on the text of Practical Law resources to improve accuracy.

In addition, Practical Law resources are referenced in the responses with the actual language from the resources, and links are included to read the full Practical Law documents. Even with these and other precautions, Ask Practical Law AI can occasionally produce inaccuracies, so it should always be used as part of a research process in connection with additional research to fully understand the nuance of the issues and further improve accuracy.

Westlaw notes for best results:

  1. Ask your question in everyday language. Include key facts and details, when possible.
  2. Use specific terms. For example, "Is the waiver of consequential damages enforceable under New York law?" Or "How can I strengthen a payment terms provision in a Sale of Goods agreement for my buyer client?"
  3. Provide feedback on results. Indicating whether results were helpful or not will help improve this tool.
