As AI continues to shape the business of law across the legal industry, it’s critical for the next generation of legal professionals to gain experience using the legal AI tools changing how the law is practiced now.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that vLex is partnering with the University of Oklahoma College of Law to provide their law school faculty and students with access to Vincent AI.

Legal Education Meets Legal AI

OU College of Law is a trailblazer in legal education. In 2014, it became the first law school in the United States to launch a comprehensive college-wide Digital Initiative focused on preparing students to succeed in the modern practice of law.

As a part of the Digital Initiative, OU College of Law recognizes that “sound knowledge and skilled arguments aren’t always enough in today’s competitive legal landscape,” and that “firms and organizations also want to hire tech-savvy lawyers who are comfortable with the tools needed to research, communicate, and present in the 21st century.”

We’re delighted to be partnering with such an innovator in legal education, and want to give a special shoutout to Sean Harrington, Director of Technology and Innovation, and Kenton Brice, Director of the Law Library and Associate Professor of Law, for leading the way in securing Vincent AI for OU College of Law.

In announcing the partnership with vLex, the Donald Pray Law Library at OU College of Law said that Vincent AI “brings cutting-edge AI capabilities to our community, keeping us at the forefront of legal research and practice.” And to give its students and faculty an advantage in the legal market, “Vincent AI features over 12 AI-driven tools that streamline both litigation and transactional tasks, making it an essential resource for efficient research, rapid document analysis, and summarization.”

Empowering Legal Professionals to Work Smarter

Vincent AI was designed by lawyers and legal technologists with legal professionals in mind. Our curated, pre-built workflows have each been carefully crafted to help streamline the tedious tasks legal professionals perform every day.

Now, faculty and students at OU College of Law can leverage our AI workflows for research, litigation, transactional work, and document analysis to work smarter. Here are some of our most popular workflows they now have access to within Vincent:

Research Workflows

• Ask a Research Question: Find answers in case law, legislation, and secondary sources.
• Compare Jurisdictions: Compare laws and regulations across many jurisdictions at once.
• Generate a 50-State Survey: Compare the law across all 50 states at once.
• Build an Argument: Build a legal argument that supports your goals.

Litigation Workflows

• Explore a Legal Proposition: Find sources to support or oppose a proposition.
• Analyze a Complaint: Extract claims and facts, build timelines, and propose defenses.
• Analyze Pleadings: Perform analysis on statements of claim and defenses.
• Analyze a Deposition: Extract facts, identify follow-up questions and objections, and build timelines from depositions.

Transactional Workflows

• Analyze a Contract: Review clauses, definitions, risks, and client-hostile language.
• Redline Analysis: Identify changes in a contract, or multiple revisions of the same contract, to assess their impact and develop a negotiation strategy.

Document Analysis

• Summarize Documents: Rapidly generate summaries of your documents.
• Explore a Collection: Run extractive tasks against the documents in a Collection.
• Find Related Documents: Upload a document to find similar documents within vLex.
• Compare Documents: Build a table summarizing key differences in two documents.
• Create a Timeline: Extract a chronology of events from your documents.

Beyond the several pre-designed workflows our team has developed, Vincent AI also offers an easy-to-use chatbot interface for asking questions. Whether it’s a nuanced legal question or a unique, complex query, Vincent provides tailored, accurate answers. More importantly, Vincent provides students and faculty with peace of mind when it comes to hallucinations.

Backed by vLex’s legal intelligence platform, Vincent’s answers are grounded in authoritative sources and come with direct citations to the statutes, regulations, legislation, and case law on point for each specific legal question. This means that faculty writing on the next hot topic for an upcoming law review journal or students on call in class never have to worry if a case is real or if AI hallucinated it into being.

Bringing Cutting-Edge AI Capabilities to Law School Communities

Equipping the next generation of legal professionals with the cutting-edge AI tools shaping the practice of law is no longer a nice to have in legal education – they’re absolute necessities to position students for success in a constantly-changing industry.

And as the pace of acceleration only increases in legal AI advancements, it’s more important than ever for law faculty to have access to and understand these tools to better teach their students about the shifting expectations they face in practice and the ethical implications for leveraging AI.
