Legal realism is the view that jurisprudence should emulate the methods of natural science; that is, it should rely on empirical evidence.
As applied to AI, it is testing hype against actual applications to real-world legal problems.
The data and methods are open source, inviting scrutiny, replication, and extension by the broader legal and technical community.
The mission is to advance an evidence-based understanding of where AI genuinely serves the practice of law—and where it does not.
