LASC Housing Law AI Research Assistant RFP
Posted:
Closing Date:
The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland (“Cleveland Legal Aid”) seeks an experienced developer to design and implement a Housing Law AI Research Assistant (“AI Assistant”) to support the legal work of staff and volunteer attorneys. This AI Assistant is to be a tool that integrates Cleveland Legal Aid’s varied sources of institutional expertise in housing law, allowing advocates to make use of them more easily. By streamlining legal research and document drafting, the AI Assistant will increase the quality and efficiency of services provided to clients. It will be capable of quickly delivering relevant legal information, identifying potential case strategies, and assisting in the creation of memoranda, pleadings, motions, briefs, and correspondence related to landlord-tenant and other housing law matters. The tool will combine generative AI algorithms with conditional logic in a user-friendly interface that requires minimal training to use. It will also incorporate strong encryption and security protocols to protect the underlying data, which will not be used for external training or shared outside of approved contexts. Ultimately, this project aims to significantly reduce the time attorneys spend on manual research and drafting, enabling us to serve more clients and improve outcomes in housing-related cases.
