Here Comes Santa Claus(e)

Digital legal research is amazing but the hype – particularly around AI – is a bit like Christmas magic. It involves a lot of wishing.

As the Great Library’s staff heads off to spend the holidays with family and friends, and the doors close for the year, I can sneak in this guest post unobserved, like a night-time intruder in a chimney flue. As visions of sugar plums dance in my head, I can’t help wonder if the AI in legal publishing research databases dreams of Santa. Or if it’s not quite clear on the concept. Sometimes Santa’s little legal research helpers need a bit of guidance.
