Academic Legal Research: Revolutionizing Literature Review with AI
For legal academics and students, literature review is one of the most time-consuming stages of the research process. Finding the right references among thousands of sources for thesis writing, article preparation, or academic work can take days or even weeks with traditional methods. Lextum AI's semantic search technology reduces this process to seconds.
Traditional Challenges in Academic Research
1. Scattered Source Structure
Academic articles, thesis works, court decisions, and legislation are located on different platforms. Separate searches are required for each.
2. Finding the Right Citation
Finding the most current and authoritative source to support an argument requires comprehensive scanning.
3. Currency Issues
Law is a dynamic field. A view valid when published may lose its validity with new case law.
4. Missing Conceptual Connections
Traditional keyword searches can miss conceptually related but differently expressed works.
