Three Crowns and CodeX, The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, have developed a prototype of an AI-powered cross-examination training platform. The platform leverages generative AI to create real-life simulations, enabling users to hone their cross-examination skills.
The innovative and novel platform will allow users to practice in realistic scenarios tailored to different fact patterns, receive detailed and actionable feedback, and customise their training. The platform’s in-simulation feedback is informed by real-world testimony and AI ‘personas’ based upon practitioners.
Hugh Carlson, said: “This collaboration is a natural fit, bringing together Three Crowns’ unparalleled experience in international arbitration and CodeX’s technological ingenuity. The result is a training tool that reimagines how lawyers develop their cross-examination skills, providing an AI-driven environment that prepares them for real-world advocacy challenges.”
The prototype, which has just been covered in Global Arbitration Review, will first be showcased at the CodeX FutureLaw 2025 conference in April 2025.
The tool has also been shortlisted for “Best Innovation” at the 15th Annual GAR Awards, which will take place in April 2025.
