AI for Criminal defense solicitors

Criminal defense firms work odd hours on tight legal aid fees, for clients whose liberty can turn on a note, a date or a phone call. Software can type up attendance notes from dictation, transcribe interview recordings, summarize served evidence, build the monthly legal aid claim and keep the on-call rota straight. A solicitor checks every transcript and summary, decides the defense, and keeps court dates in the case diary first.
