Summary
Legalscape announced that its COO, Tsukanezawa, presented at the Tokyo Bar Association faction Shunjukai's "Mints-era LegalTech Training" on March 17, 2026. He demonstrated Legalscape's legal-research AI and explained how law-specific AI can deliver summaries paired with cited legal authorities, noting the platform's extensive content base and publisher partnerships. He emphasized that trusted legal information and lawyers' professional judgment remain indispensable even as generative AI advances, and recommended using specialist legal AI for research while reserving general-purpose AI for routine tasks.
