Thomson Reuters® CoCounsel Legal — the industry’s only Fiduciary-Grade AI™ tool that your organization can stake its reputation on — saves prosecutors time, energy, and effort. Because it is built on Thomson Reuters Westlaw and Practical Law and was thoughtfully and intentionally designed with exactly the features and safeguards that technical, sensitive legal work needs, CoCounsel Legal can function at the level of a senior associate and free up lawyers and legal professionals for more valuable, judgment-based work.
As Brady compliance becomes more challenging amid expanding evidence volumes and limited resources, CoCounsel Legal helps prosecutors review and synthesize information faster, making it easier to identify and assess material that may require disclosure. This allows legal professionals to spend less time on manual review and more time applying legal judgment to critical decisions.
