Adults & Professionals · AI for Legal Work · ~7 min read
The premise
Pro bono inquiries overwhelm intake; AI triages so attorneys see the matters that fit firm criteria.
What AI does well here
- Match intake forms against firm pro bono criteria (matter type, eligibility, capacity)
- Flag urgency markers (court date, deadline, eviction)
- Suggest referral options for matters outside firm scope
What AI cannot do
- Make the representation decision
- Replace the intake interview
- Verify financial eligibility documents
