Discover how you can do smarter legal research inside Smokeball with LawY
When legal questions involve substantive law, finding reliable answers quickly is critical. That's where LawY comes in.
LawY is an AI-powered legal research assistant designed to help lawyers answer questions involving substantive law, conduct legal research, analyse authorities, and assist with drafting. Integrated directly into Archie within Smokeball, LawY makes it easier to access trusted legal insights without disrupting your workflow.
In this Smokeball x LawY demonstration, we showcase just how powerful this integration can be. Within minutes, LawY compares, contrasts, and summarises multiple legal authorities, helping practitioners quickly understand key principles and identify relevant precedents without spending hours reviewing lengthy judgments.
As one of the standout moments in the video demonstrates how LawY can analyse and summarise three separate authorities in a matter of minutes - turning what would traditionally be a time-intensive task into a streamlined process. The result is faster access to legal insights and more time to focus on strategic legal work.
Beyond case analysis, LawY supports legal research and drafting, giving lawyers a practical AI assistant for everyday legal tasks. Because it is embedded directly within Archie, users can access these capabilities without leaving their Smokeball matter, keeping all of their work connected in a single workflow.
For Smokeball users, the integration represents another step forward in bringing AI-powered productivity tools into everyday legal practice. Whether you're researching a legal issue, analysing case law, or preparing documents, LawY helps reduce administrative burden while supporting better-informed legal work. Best of all, LawY’s legal research function is available directly through Archie and is included free for all Archie users.
