Faculty Scholarship Services: Cladius Scholar

Law Library offers a range of services supporting faculty services

What is Claudius?

Claudius is the First-ever Artificial Intelligence built for legal academic scholarship.
The fruit of Three Years of R&D, Claudius is backed by the National Science Foundation and Google’s AI Startups Program.

Currently, there are only 10 journals receiving submissions via Claudius: Brooklyn Journal of Corporate Financial & Commercial Law, Chicago-Kent Journal of IP, Hofstra Law Review, North Dakota Law Review, St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics, The University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review, Tulsa Law Review, University of Miami Business Law Review, University of Miami Inter-American Law Review, and the University of Miami Law Review.

 

Should I use Claudius? 

 

We encourage the faculty interested in these journals to create their own Claudius accounts in order to evaluate it for themselves and to explore its "AI Analytics" features such as the "Reference Finder," which seems to be one of Claudius's major selling points. Reference Finder allows you to paste text containing a claim or assertion, then "Claudius [] suggest[s] the best-matching law journal articles to support it." Personally,  if you're looking for a source that says X, it would seem that you're writing opinion journalism rather than legal scholarship. However, it has a Preemption Check and the Abstract Generator (de gustibus).
