Oxford Law Pro recognized in the Legal Technology Awards
We have been named a finalist in the Legal Technology Awards 2026.
Oxford Law Pro, our knowledge resource for legal professionals and researchers, has been recognized in the Responsible Use of AI in Legal Services category. This recognition follows two recent award wins in the Society for Scholarly Publishing’s EPIC Awards, for both Hosting Platform Features and Branding.
Hosted by Netlaw Media, the Legal Technology Awards recognize leadership, innovation, and technology as well as the individuals, teams, and suppliers transforming the future of legal services.
The Responsible Use of AI in Legal Services category recognizes organizations that demonstrate exemplary governance, robust risk management, and strong leadership in the ethical integration of artificial intelligence.
Mirkka Jokelainen, Product Portfolio Manager, said:
“Having made the list of finalists is such a meaningful recognition of OUP’s work with legal professionals, and means a lot for the whole Oxford Law Pro team. AI is a tool which enables lawyers to benefit from our decades strong work of publishing the best legal commentary and analysis, and from the start, we have wanted to make sure the new capabilities enhance lawyers’ work and are easy to use. Responsible AI is about more than just technology. It’s about helping legal professionals access trusted expertise, realize value quickly, and adopt new capabilities with confidence.”
Winners of the Legal Technology Awards will be announced on 18 November.
About Oxford Law Pro
Launched last year, Oxford Law Pro brings together more than 9,000 journal articles and over 600 award-winning, peer-reviewed books from our portfolio of authoritative and timely legal analysis, all on our Oxford Academic platform.
Oxford Law Pro is powered by a conversational AI research assistant, developed with Silverchair, making legal research more efficient without compromising on accuracy. Unlike generic AI search tools, Oxford Law Pro employs retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks specifically tuned for legal content, ensuring responses are grounded exclusively in OUP’s authoritative materials.
The platform equips legal professionals with tools that match the realities of modern practice, and by reducing time spent on initial source identification, the AI assistant allows them to allocate more time to substantive analysis, strategic thinking, and client service.
