The Financial Times recently honored international arbitration firm Three Crowns with an Innovative Lawyers North America Award for its new AI-powered cross-examination simulator, co-developed with Stanford Law’s liftlab.

liftlab built the tool—called Atelier—from hypotheticals and ...datasets supplied by the firm. The result is a realistic, voice-to-voice training environment that lets lawyers practice via simulation the critical skill of cross-examination with far more nuance and control than traditional methods allow.

“We have done extensive exploratory research on leveraging AI agents for legal education. It is incredibly encouraging to see in practice how AI-driven simulation training can have real impact on the development of legal skills,” said Megan Ma, liftlab’s executive director. “We created something that reflects how lawyers actually work, and how they want to learn.”

Atelier is being made available as an open source resource to law schools globally.

The annual FT Innovative Lawyers Awards recognize “the most innovative lawyers in the North America legal industry.”

Since George Floyd’s killing, police departments across the country have rewritten—or pledged to rewrite—their use-of-force rules. But it has been hard to see how those reforms compare and whether they meaningfully change the standards that govern police encounters.

A new three-prong... initiative from the Stanford Center for Racial Justice offers one of the clearest pictures to date.

At the initiative’s core is “Police Use of Force Policies Across America,” a first-of-its-kind analysis by Dan Sutton, the Center’s director of justice and safety, and former research associate Fatima Dahir. They reviewed 2,200 policies in the nation’s 100 largest cities, revealing where departments have aligned since 2020—and where major gaps remain.

Faculty director Ralph Richard Banks says the project gives communities “an unprecedented set of tools” to evaluate local policies.

The initiative also includes the soon-to-launch Policy Explorer, an interactive database that turns 11,000+ pages of force regulations into a searchable tool for policymakers, journalists, advocates, and law-enforcement leaders.
