Case Study Overview
Designing AI Around Human Judgement – legal workflow concept
How might AI reduce repetitive legal work without removing expert judgement or trust?
The Problem
Legal teams spend hours manually reviewing contracts and case documents, spotting risks and drafting responses — slow, repetitive work.
The Users
In-house legal counsel, contract reviewers, and compliance teams who need to act on documents quickly and accurately.
The Constraints
Strict confidentiality and compliance rules, the need for human oversight, and integration with existing case-management systems.
My Process
Mapped the end-to-end legal review journey, then prototyped an AI-assisted workflow to test how AI could support legal judgement.
Key Decisions
Kept a human in the loop at every step, surfaced AI reasoning and source clauses, and designed clear review and approval states.
Outcome
Impact
A concept demo of an AI-guided workflow that summarises documents, flags risks, and drafts responses — with the reviewer in control.
Faster review, more consistent risk identification, and less manual effort — freeing experts for higher-value judgement.
