Legal AI For Law Schools

Improve Your Research with Lexis+ AI Tools

Lexis+ AI is Coming to Canadian Law Schools This Fall

Lexis+ AI is now generally available to Canadian legal professionals, see the press release here. This follows a successful preview with select Canadian customers and earlier commercial launches of Lexis+ AI in the USA, UK, Australia and France. Developed with input from leading law firms, Lexis+ AI is a generative AI legal assistant that transforms legal work through conversational search and intelligent legal drafting.

Lexis+ AI has been widely available at American law schools since December 2023, where 78% of law school faculty surveyed this past spring reported plans to teach students about generative AI tools. LexisNexis® Canada is committed to the success of new lawyers and is excited to bring this groundbreaking tool to Canadian law schools this fall.

Lexis+ AI Faculty Training

Lexis+ AI law faculty training sessions will cover the Lexis+ AI features, best practices, and classroom integration strategies. Please register for an upcoming training session below and continue to visit this page regularly for additional training dates.

Lexis+ AI Law Student Training

Our training program for law students will continue to emphasize traditional legal research skills and principles, including primary and secondary sources, keyword and Boolean searching, legal citation and noting up. These skills will continue to be taught in “Lexis+ Canada Basics” sessions being offered to all Canadian law students. Supplemental Lexis+ AI training sessions will be offered to first year law students who have completed their Lexis+ Canada Basics sessions, and to upper year law students. This AI session will inform students on extractive versus generative AI, FAQs on confidentiality, hallucinations and citation, prompting best practices, and recommended use cases. Our goal is to empower students with the ability to seamlessly integrate AI-powered tools into their research workflows, while understanding the appropriate and responsible use of AI.

Student sessions will be available in September 2024 and can be booked by emailing your existing LexisNexis training contact or training@lexisnexis.ca.

New Account Registration

New law school users must request and obtain a private Lexis+ AI registration link from an authorized person. Authorized persons include Law School Librarians and Faculty, LexisNexis Student Associates, LexisNexis Customer Service, or our LexisNexis Law School Program Manager.
