Anatomy of Legal AI: Live Diagram

Ordalie

How does legal AI actually work?

During this talk, we’ll break down the entire architecture of legal AI in real time: how it’s trained, on what data, how it reasons through a corpus of legal sources, what distinguishes generative AI from analytical AI, and what determines the reliability of a response.
All of this will be diagrammed live on the board (it’s not very tech-heavy, but it’s incredibly effective!)

The aim: for you to leave with a clear understanding of exactly what happens when you ask an AI about a legal issue, including what happens to your data.

– Léa Fleury, Co-founder and Chair
– Baudouin Arbarétier, Co-founder and CTO

Ordalie: Legal AI Put to the Test in Practice

Ordalie

In the trial by ordeal, the ordeal itself was the sole proof. We have retained that principle.

During this live demo, we will put Ordalie through its paces with real-world scenarios in litigation and advisory work: preparing for hearings, summarising opposing submissions, reconstructing timelines from case files, identifying inconsistencies and non-conformities in a contract, mapping ownership structures, drafting a memo…
In the event of failure, the stake remains an option.

2084: Which will prevail—human intelligence or artificial intelligence?

Barreau de Paris

In 2084, a former poet turned farmer sues an AI company, accusing it of having replaced human creativity and contributed to the environmental and social imbalances associated with digital technology. Throughout the proceedings, Nature herself, an AI company, and a law professor confront each other’s visions of technological progress and its impacts.
This fictional trial humorously examines the role of artificial intelligence in relation to human intelligence and sustainability issues.

Speakers: Xavier Silva, Conference Secretary; Sophie Guinamant, Conference Secretary; Raphaelle Varaut, Conference Secretary; Maxence Gallo, former Conference Secretary.
Guest of Honor: Alexandra Palt, President of WWF France

Conference: “The Impact of AI on Hourly Rates”

ACE Avocats

Artificial intelligence is reducing legal production times and putting pressure on the hourly billing model that has shaped the profession for decades. Whilst 73% of legal professionals anticipate this model being called into question, 33% of lawyers believe their rates will fall, compared with 56% of their clients. The question of how law firms should adapt their business models is no longer merely theoretical.
This conference offers practical insights and feedback on the trade-offs, risks and benefits of switching to value-based billing and hybrid models.

Speakers:
– Audrey Chemouli, barrister at the Paris Bar, founder and host of the Avocats Génération Entrepreneurs podcast;
– Manuel Meneghini, barrister at the Paris Bar, co-chair of ACE Jeunes Avocats Paris, host of the Avocats Génération Entrepreneurs podcast;
– Clarisse Berrebi, barrister at the Paris Bar, founder of BOLD and Ether, a firm specialising in the structuring of R&D and innovation;
– Tony Law, legal expert, author and analyst of law firms’ business models and digital strategies (Le Juriste de Demain)
