- Susmita Nanda LLM ’26 developed GroundCheck, an AI-powered tool that verifies whether legal citations support cited arguments during UC Law SF’s AI-Enabled Lawyers Bootcamp.
- The Bootcamp, part of LexLab at UC Law SF, shifts students’ focus from what AI can do to how it should be responsibly designed, tested, and used.
- The program emphasizes practical application of AI in legal tasks, ethical issues, and hands-on experience in building AI tools through a capstone project.
- GroundCheck scrutinizes legal citations to ensure they genuinely support legal arguments, utilizing adversarial review processes and structured recommendations for human review.
- The experience gained will help new attorneys evaluate and advise on AI legal tools critically and understand the foundation of reliable legal analysis.
